        It works. It just converts 1-100 into a bunch of subnets. You could clean it up by starting with .0/26, but the wizard just starts with the first number you put in. If you didn't have anything else until .128, you could make it real easy and use .0/25 (1-126)

          Yeah.  Do your address ranges in hex multiples (2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256) instead of multiples of 10.  Put them on natural subnet boundaries and you can cover your ranges with one rule.

          I do things like set dhcp ranges from .129 to .254 just in case I ever want to make rules for dynamic addresses. (.128/25)

          DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!
