  • The 'Default Firewall Rules' allows you to control the default behaviour of the firewall. If changed, select 'Save Default Firewall Rules'.
To apply any changes make sure to select 'Apply Firewall Rules'.

You can verify the changes by trying to do anything that has just been blocked or allowed.
