Adjusting the Priority of a Protection Rule

When traffic hits a rule, the action of the rule will be performed, and CFW will not match the traffic against other protection rules. You are advised to set the priorities of the allowing rules to be higher than those of the blocking rules, and set the priorities of specific rules to be higher than those of general rules.

This section describes how to adjust the priorities of protection rules.

Priority

A larger value indicates a lower priority. The value 1 indicates the highest priority.
