2.8.6 Firewall Rules
By default there are no rules on the new interface, so the firewall will block all traffic. This is not ideal for a LAN as
generally speaking, the LAN clients will need to contact hosts through the firewall.
Rules for this interface can be found under Firewall > Rules, on the OPTx tab (or the custom name, e.g. GUESTS).
There are two common scenarios administrators typically choose for local interfaces: Open and Isolated
Open
On an open LAN, hosts in that LAN are free to contact any other host through the firewall. This might be a host on the
Internet, across a VPN, or on another local LAN.
In this case a simple “allow all” style rule for the interface will suffice.
• Navigate to Firewall > Rules, on the OPTx tab (or the custom name)
• Click to add a new rule at the top of the list
• Configure the rule as follows:
Action

Interface
OPTx (or the custom name) should already be set by default
