/nat firewall filter

does MT stop checking filter rules when it finds first rule that matches the packet? or, does it check the packet against all rules?
here is what i want

if time is between 0800 and 1600 then
go to next filter rule (and all other filter rules)
else
drop packet


thanks

it performs the action when it’s matched… if it’s a jump or passthru it will keep going, otherwise that’s probably the end.

mangle has checkbox that tell’s MT to check packet against next rule…
filter does not… action can be passthrough… but then i can’t accept or drop packet…

You have chains for that. Create chain of filter rules and in main chain just jump in your custom chain when you have a match.
