Port Forwarding: Enable / Disable on a per port basis

[Yiannis]

Perhaps an idea for implementation if it's not already implemented.

Sometimes you need to quickly open/close a specific port forwarding leaving the rest ports intact (open).

To my understanding the current implementation only allows for a generic switch (On/Off) of the whole port forwarding feature, like a master switch.

I believe it would be very useful if there was also the ability to selectively open close ports with on/off switches .

What do you think?

not sure about this
last time i worked with port forwarding was with a vps and a custom firewall ( zentoo i think ) as those are designed to do that stuff
also if i am not mistaken ( alteast with windows firewall is that the case )
Close goes before open
so in global you put everything on open and just put a close port in it that you want to have closed
as the rule says that close goes before open , will that specific port be closed when the other ports stays open

Block rules. This type of rule explicitly blocks a particular type of incoming or outgoing traffic. Because these rules are evaluated before allow rules, they take precedence. Network traffic that matches both an active block and an active allow rule is blocked.

Have you ever tried upnp it does exactly that open and close ports on the fly as required.
