      Hi, a quick search on the forum didn't reveal any relative thread, so apologies if this horse has already been beat down.

      In the "NAT" pane under "firewall", where quick-and-easy port forwarding rules are set up, there doesn't seem to be any way to disable a rule without entirely deleting the rule.  It would be useful to be able to render rules inactive while saving the configuration so they can be reactivated conveniently.  Is there a way to do this currently or something that might be worth asking for as a feature (from within the GUI - I'm sure there's a way to get around this problem @ command line but then there's the whole "convenience" thing)

      Thanks for any thoughts!

        You can disable the port-forward right at the top of the definition.

              It would be nice if disable could be added as a quick button on firewall_rules.php.
