General Discussion / Enabling firewall rules from command line
« on: November 30, 2021, 06:11:38 pm »
Hey folks,
Is there a way to enable or disable firewall rules from a command line on the router instead of through the web interface?
Use case: I have some firewall rules that activate on a schedule for a window of time. If I don't need them active for the entire duration of that window, I can manually disable the rules to get my original behavior back. However, I have to remember to go re-enable those rules outside the schedule window, which is something I often forget to do. It would be perfect if I could re-enable them from cron when I know it's outside the schedule, for example.
Is this possible?
