Firewall Configuration | Importing firewall-filters using JSON

[Y0urCyb3rDream]

Hey Everyone,

I recently recommended some Alta Labs gear to a friend of mine and I was looking to export my current Firewall config and makes some changes that better suits his needs as he is building the begins of his homelab.

For Context, he is a developer who is looking to host his own GitLab server but needs an air-gapped environments; hence the Alta Labs Route 10 recommendation because of native wireguard support.

The only issue is that I’m looking through my own Firewall-Filters.JSON and I notice an {id: str} field that looks to be a randomly generated set of characters the only issue is that I’m not sure if this is a required field to pass on to allow him to import a custom Firewall-Filters json configuration that suits his networking needs.

Anyone have any experience with importing firewall-filters of a Route 10?

I’VE FIGURED IT OUT.

Solution:

These id’s are a maximum of 6 characters each, that can contain any letter (uppercase or lowercase) or any number of your choice. Ideally for randomization sake you would want this value to be as random as possible of course.

NOTE: I haven’t yet tested the actually id constraints yet, I’m sure someone on the team can answer this question but you can in fact export your current firewall-filter config and make the changes necessary so long as you make an id that is a max of 6 characters.
