Add/Edit/Disable Forward Chain

Unlike the Input and Output chains, the only default rule the Forward chain has is Default system policy. Conceivably, this one is not to be edited or deleted. Instead, you are free to decide upon any number and kinds of specific rules to create and add to the Forward chain by clicking on the New Rule link.

*Note: Make sure your firewall is in the Advanced Mode. If you need help activating or switching your firewall to the Advanced Mode, you can refer to the entry "Configuring Firewall in Advanced Mode".
