      Upgraded to 2.1 and looks like my rules got eaten.

      right now have an any/any up and it just doesn't feel right.

      Any standard rules kicking around I can use to set up a home network for standard apps. Ping, tracert, http (80,443)…stuff like that so I am not fudging with them for a couple months?

      Thanks VERY much!

        On the LAN interface, allow any from LAN subnet to any; no explicit rules on the WAN interfaces. This will allow your LAN-side devices to initiate connections to the outside world (and allow any responses back in), but won't allow connections to be initiated from the outside.
