Understanding Firewall Rule Jump

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Hi everyone,

I need to understand the Firewall Rule Jump.

What happens when a packet enters the Firewall Rule Jump.
The packet jumps into Chain XX.
But what happens after that? Will the packet continue to run at the point after it has hit the Jump Rule?

Thanks for your help!

It jumps in the custom chain, then if no rule is matched inside the custom chain the firewall continues with the rule after the action jump…NOT with the rule after the last one of the custom chain…
So if you add a return at the end of the custom chain the result would be the same as if there was no return.
You can use return in case you want to skip some of the rules of the custom chain…

ok this make sense.

I was thinking of the same thing, I just wasn’t sure.

Thank you
