Synology NAS Firewall rule order. I need to know in what order firewall rules should go? Is it like most firewall rules that go from top to bottom?
The order goes from bottom to top.
Here is how Only allow specific IP addresses to access DSM
- Go to Control Panel > Security > Firewall to enable the firewall and create firewall rules using the steps in this article.
- Create two firewall rules if you want to only allow specific IP addresses to access your DSM (e.g., 192.168.50.xxx and 192.168.50.xxx) and deny other IP addresses from accessing it.
