How can I get a basic script of these default out-of-the-box rules so I can add them through the terminal. Why did my router not have any rules? My question is how can I get the basic rules added to my firewall. Well I assumed that the default firewall is on but there is absolutely no rules on the list so from the best of my knowledge it might as well be off. Probably too much info but basically everywhere I read it says that these routers are meant to work out of the box and are ready to go. I also have it running a DHCP server for my one network and I have a Mikrotik switch connected to it. (I didn't use the quickset page but maybe I should've?) The initial config page never mentioned adding any firewall rules. I initially set up my router with help of the initial setup page on the Mikrotik documentation page. I am using a ccr1009 (it was a steal) for a home environment and I just realized after all this time that my firewall rule list is absolutely BLANK. Guys I hate to be a pain but I have a question that I need answered and after searching the web it's an absolute mystery to me.
