NetworkPro on firewalling

bledar · November 17, 2009, 11:02am

Hi.

I put the rules of “NetworkPro on firewalling”, wiki, on my router but something seems going wrong.

All rules that contains “jump-target=drop” are with red color (on winbox).
Please, may someone help me to find where the problem is.

‘Action=jump jump-target=drop’ means that these packets should now be processed through rules with ‘chain=drop’. Do you have any rules with ‘chain=drop’ ?

It is true, I havent any rule with chain=drop. I created one and all seems OK.
For blocking a specific traffic, may I use now chain=drop instead of input, output or forward?

Thank you kirshteins!

Please note, that unless you know exactly what all of those rules do, please do not install something that you don’t know what its doing.

Action=jump can be handy if you want to classify specific traffic and apply more than one rule to it. You should read manual about this: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Firewall_filter . Pay most attention to action=jump and action=return.
