Edit, Delete, or Deactivate / Activate Rule
Click on the ellipsis on the right side of the page to edit, delete, or deactivate/activate a rule. Only certain functions will show in the menu based on the rule you are clicking on.
Please note you cannot delete default rules, they can only be deactivated. If you would like to create all your own firewall rules, you will first need to deactivate all the default rules in order to work from a clean slate. Only custom rules that are created by a user can be deleted.
