Blocking only outbound traffic

    Jonathan, is your server on an internal network? Does it have a static IP address?

    I believe the more specific firewall rule will win in a conflict, so if you have a rule that blocks all inbound traffic, and another rule that allows inbound from a single IP address, then you should be able to block all inbound traffic except for that single IP address.

    Anthony,  thank you for taking the time to answer my question.  After spending more time with the router, I found a way of accomplish the tasks under RULES.

    However, I have a follow up question.  In most router/firewall, the order of the rules does make a difference in how to determine the flow of traffic.  In Firewalla, I can see the list of rules but have no way to re-order them.  How does Firewalla prioritize the rules?  Is there a way to change the order?

    Thanks.

    see this document for ordering https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/360008521833-Manage-Rules

    Allow always take precedence over block.  And within allow or block, no ordering
