Firewall suggestion

[a117yogi]

i noticed earlier today that in the firewall rules you can only specify TCP or UDP one at a time, my suggestion is to have a option to block or accept both in one rule instead of requiring one rule for TCP and one for UDP.

The way the rules are applied, they can only be set to one protocol at a time as far as I know. The only benefit this would have is allowing you to have a higher total number of rules, but I have no idea what you would be doing that requires over 20 rules.

the suggestion for the option of combining them was for simplification, as of right now i have a single port using up 4 rules instead of what could be 2

[soja]

The rules are applied with iptables. Iptables requires rules for each protocol.

With standard rules, the nature of netfilter is that the protocol must be specified along with the port.

But, you can do what you are asking for using the bpf filter option, which is extremely powerful. We have some examples for its usage that you can view by hovering your cursor over the field.

thanks edge, managed to compress all 4 rules into 1
