Firewall.User Defined Lists

Allow users the ability to create user defined lists. To be able to select these when create firewall rules, to save time and simplify the list view. :

IP Address (1…Many)

For Example
List Name: DNS Servers

1.1.1.1,9.9.9.9,1.0.0.1,8.8.8.8

List Name: dns ports
53

The makes creating firewall rules much simpler.

One rule vs 4 separate rules :

Allow IP Subnet : 10.10.100.1/24 to List: DNS Servers with Port List: dns ports

Sytem will generate in the background 4 rules but saves user time and makes managing the firewall easier.

  1. creation if a list of Subnets IPv4/IPv6
    10.10.100.1/23
    192.168.74.1/24
    172.12.18.1/29

  2. creation of a list of FQDN

ability to create list of

time.cloudflare.com
time.apple.com

  1. creation of a list of Ports

Dns Ports : 53, 853

Note:

It would be good to see all factory default firewall rules listed as Read Only, fixed Priority (users cant change) for transparency.

here is an example of the current issue multiple rules when if Lists were supported would reduce the number of rule

Should only need one rule for Intervlan Blocking, but need 4.
NTP and DNS rule agains shoud be one not two rules.

Team Alta

is there any way to add a list of IP address, subnets or ports. and use them in a firewall rule.

I see that range of ports :1000-2500 is supported but not 1001,1020,1004

The firewall needs some urgent attention.

Please can you look at adding some support for at least ability to enter a list thing in a firewall rule.

This is far more useful than IDS/IPS. what should be 20 odd rules would mean something 200 rules separate entries all because of a lack of lists.

This is more pressing than IPS/IDS and vpn clients, etc. Basic functionality that is present in nearly every router I have owned.

I was thinking exact the same thing. Coming from Unifi and Mikrotik, the list is much needed.

A toggle to switch on and off the rules are also needed…
