Rules table on mobile shows only couple of columns and doesn't scroll right

[arkanoid]

Hello

Whenever I need to change a firewall rule table while using a mobile device (over vpn, of course  :P) I find myself struggling with a web page that refuses to work properly.

I am using a mobile device that has a higher resolution (and obviously higher DPI) than my fullhd desktop, but no matter if I use the "desktop mode" on mobile, or different mobile browsers, or landscape mode, the rules table shows only "Protocol", "Source" and "Description" and buttons columns and doesn't scroll to the right.
I end up having to guess the right rule according to only these info.

Apart from that, it works, but please I'd be happy to exchange "Description" with "Destination" column, at least.  :'(

Is there anything I can do? Thanks

It's the same here, but I don't really care about, cause making changes with small mobile touch-displays often causes problems due to misconfiguration. I had a case where I inadvertently unticked the "active" checkbox for LAN interface and then saved the config :o

So I advise to not configure opnsense with mobile devices :)

It's like saying:
please don't drive a car, it's sufficient a wrong turn of the wheel by a value of 1 degree to kill yourself or other people.

The DPI of a smartphone is generally higher than the DPI of a screen due to it's size and the average distance from your eyes. This makes usable area of the display *larger* than the one of a desktop monitor (just push this concept to the limit and you find Virtual Reality displays)

You might say the input is less precise, but actually is not. I'm using the smartphone with a touchscreen pen, and you can ask artists if they feel better drawing with a pen on a recent smartphone, or with a mouse on a fullhd screen. Again here it's a broad topic and brings in a lot of usability concepts.

Apart from that. It's 2022 and mobile browsers knows the concept of "desktop mode", horizontal scroll, and landscape mode. The rules tables is just "shooting itself in the leg" and has never been tested on device.

I do understand not all pages can be easily optimized for mobile, but the rule table in a firewall is pretty important, I'd say.

It's not opnsense responsibility to care if the user has a larger finger than average or is operating on his firewall while drunk. Desktop and mobile should make no difference. And also this happens on tablets too.
