A Firewall rule is at first defined by its name and some further options:
- On/Off switch: Is the rule active for the Firewall?
- Priority: Which is the priority of the rule?
- Observe further rules: Should further Firewall rules be observed when this rule applies to a data packet?
- Create VPN rule: Is this Firewall rule also used to create a VPN rule?
- Routing Tag: When applying the routing tag further information about for instance the used service or protocol can be used for selecting the target route. With this so called policy based routing a much better control of the routing behaviour is possible.
