In Bypass Rules, whats the difference between “bypass” and “on” checkboxes? Don they do the same thing?
“On” indicates the rule is enabled, if it is not enabled, the rule doesn’t do anything. “Bypass” indicates the action if the rule matches. If the rule matches and bypass is checked the traffic will bypass Untangle. If it is not checked the traffic will go through Untangle. One use case is to use bypass rules to send only selected traffic to Untangle. To do this create a single rule that bypasses all traffic. Then place rules above that rule with “on” checked and “bypass” unchecked. Traffic that matched these rules will be sent to Untangle. This would bypass all traffic EXCEPT what matched the specific rules. Keep in mind, Untangle filters only TCP and UDP traffic. So a bypass rule for traffic other than TCP or UDP has no effect.
