View Full Version : Firewall - one rule multiple source networks

Is it possible to set a single firewall rule to work with multiple source networks (IP ranges) or should I set one up for each source network? I wanted to double check before just trying it, as I manage this system remotely.

Some firewalls go down the rule list until they hit a rule that applies and stops there. If the Untangle firewall works in this manner I'll need one rule to handle all three networks.

I've read that in other areas you can use a comma to specify multiple items, but does this apply here? I wasn't able to find the answer in the wiki or the forum.

Thanks!

You can use commas or hyphens (but not both) in a port definition, but I think that IPs can either be specified as a subnet or as an IP, but not as a range or list.

In this case, I need to allow multiple subnets through on a specific port. I guess I'll have to make multiple rules then.
