Correct DHCP client rule descriptions in the generated firewall ruleset
0%
Description
Rules automatically added for interfaces running as dhcp clients allow traffic out and replies back in.
However both rules are given the same label "allow dhcp client out $interface" confusingly implying outbound traffic.
In the situation that there are other DHCP clients on the WAN that traffic can be passed in and is unexpectedly logged inbound with the description 'out'.
Suggest using "allow dhcp replies in" for the inbound rule
