      Has it ever been considered to change Firewall: Rules to something else, like Firewall: Filter?

      It's always seemed a little bit of an odd title.  Consider the following.

      Firewall: NAT: Port Forward rules
      Firewall: Rules rules

      Seems like Firewall: Filter rules would perhaps be better.

        Calling something that contains the firewall rules Firewall>Rules is pretty logical. It's never confused anyone. Renaming it would render obsolete thousands of references all across the Internet, there'd have to be a really good reason to do so and I don't see any reason at all.
