      I am managing the 2.0.1 firewall with a few other people. As the anti-lockout rule cannot be disabled by accident we would like to know if we can enable the same functionality to other rules?

        Just add a rule that looks like the one shown on the anti-lockout line. Pass tcp from that subnet to the firewall's IP on whatever port you have the GUI (and ssh, if enabled) running.

          Jimp: I think that OP meaned, how he can guard some rules with same kind of protection than anti-lockout has.
          JP80: At least i'm not aware of, best protection is description fields and crushing some fingers, if those are touched ;)

              Ah well there is no way to give that same protection to other rules. That rule is only displayed there as a courtesy, it doesn't exist in the ruleset the way the other rules do.
