You can add more requirements as needed, such as changing the port if needed.
You can add more requirements as needed, such as changing the port if needed, or adding source IPs so as to restrict access to known IPs. You can also use profiles to control access further.


If you have more port mappings, then you can add more rule's as required, eg to add access to an internal web server you could map port 8080 to port 80 of the internal webserver:

You can then test this rule using the built in Firewall test diagnostic.

Then you should see matching your rule and changing the target IP etc:
