Jarmo explained it quite well. You can create an advanced rule using
combinations of the following parameters: Name (you name the rule),
allow/block, address(es), protocols, ports (local/remote), in/out/both,
applications, and scheduling. As mentioned, advanced rules take
priority over application rules. Advanced rules execute from top to
bottom. Rule 1 (on top) has higher priority than rule 2, etc.
All rules are subordinated by the malware signatures in the Intruder
Detection System (IDS). An application rule can be setup for an
application, one protocol, multiple (remote) ports.
