      Hello all,

      I am confused about rules orders and roles of floating tab.

      Why floating rule tab has specialty?
      If I create rule in floating tab, and choose two interface tabs (LAN and SERVERZONE),
      Does it means that this rule controls the packets flows between LAN and SERVERZONE?

      If I don't create floating rules about two interfaces, server (which is placed after SERVERZONE) can't get packets from outside?

      Why can't I just create Allow any to any in LAN and SERVERZONE respectively?

      Because currently I have an issue without floating rule, server can't get packets from outside.

      Help me please,

        Well to get from external you would need to create a port forward..
