WARNING: default WAN and LAN interface list must be defined
WARNING: if you do not know what you are doing, you probably lose control of your device
MikroTik RouterOS 6.49.19 default firewall rules (fixed for reflect new 7.x rules change)
for IPv4 must be also created interface lists, remember to correct assign interfaces inside lists and bridge.
