rules it is currently using. The bar turns from green to red when the maximum is

firewall rules before adding more firewall rules.

want to configure firewall rules.

traffic traveling in the selected packet direction. The firewall rules that you configure 

(summarized below) take priority over the general firewall action settings above.
