Firewall Rule Schedules

Firewall rules can be scheduled so that they are only active at certain times of day or on certain specific days or days of the week.

Before you can apply a schedule to the rule, you must create a schedule under Firewall > Schedules. Then, when creating a rule, pick the defined schedule from the list.

Keep in mind that when the rule is inactive, the rules is not skipped -- the opposite action is applied. If you schedule a block, a pass is assumed at all other times. If you schedule a pass, a block is assumed.

In 2.0 this behavior has been changed, and the schedules rules will instead act as though they do not exist when the scheduled time is not active.
