Different untangle firewall User Interface?

geek-assist · 12-25-2011, 07:58 AM

Hello all,

I recently downloaded untangle, set it up, everything is pretty cool,
the only thing I was wondering about, was that the user interface of the untangle firewall application is much different than the one shown in untangle firewall wiki.

Is there some settings that I haven't done ? I have attached the screenshots.
I cannot find those advanced settings that are shown on the untangle wiki

Can someone please advice?

BTW, I am using the latest version, like I downloaded this around 1 week ago.

Hi and welcome to the forum,

The Change where done to 9.1 so i guess that no one have had the time to change the wiki.

Hello there,

hm..basically i want to block all ports and then start adding a list of ports to allow, how do i do that with this one?
I mean i know how to block all ports - by adding destination ports as any and blocking them,

but how do i add rules to ALLOW stuff ??

If you want to allow the traffic then don't check the "BLOCK" checkbox under "Preform the following action(s)" section.

Thanks,
all this while I was searching for the UI as shown in the firewall wiki,
moreover didn't realize that there is no explicit allow option!

thank you sir.

Yeah, its confusing.

I'm gonna change it to a dropdown with two options instead of a checkbox.
Then I think it will be clearer that "not blocked" is actually explicitly allowed.

Hello there,
Hm..when can we expect this change? and when it is changed, would it fix itself by just upgrade?

dmorris · 12-25-2011, 12:51 PM

In a future version, probably 9.2. On upgrade functionally nothing will change, its just a different way to visualize the same thing. The UI will just be different.
