BLOCK rule. (That is, you wish to allow a subset of traffic which is
currently blocked by another rule.)
• To define the Schedule used in these selections, use the "Schedule"
screen.

If you wish to create a firewall rule, but the required service is not listed in the "Service" list,
you can use this feature to define the required service or services. Once created, these services
will be listed in the "Service" list, and can be used when creating Firewall Rules.
