Title: Firewall rule direction question
Post by: nils_92 on April 29, 2020, 07:33:56 PM

Hi all,

Being a long time pfsense user I've now switched over to opnsense and I'm linking it however one thing I do not understand is the rule direction can anyone make an example when I would use direction OUT ? I believe this feature didn't exist in Pfsense and everything there was treated as in correct?

Thanks

Hi there and welcome,

Best thread on the subject is this: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=16829.0

In pfSense interface-based rules only have "in" direction. In floating you can choose "in" or "out" as fas as I know. We added the direction to the interface-based rules not too long ago as it can be useful depending on how you want to manage your network.

Cheers,
Franco
