Misleading: Checkbox of items in "special rules apps" list enables full internet access instead of turning rules on and off

Hi

I was expecting the latter behavior. This seemed more logic to me. Could you make it more visible what is being turned on and off with the checkboxes?

Thank you!

What rule?

[LtqxWYEG]

There. Next to your question.
Those rules or entry in the list. Checking one of them is enabling all internet access, right?

'Edit: I accidentally closed the issue. :)

Checking one of them is enabling all internet access, right?

Yes, but if app with special rule have block rule, this rule will work for app as indeed! (Even if app are checked)

It is very unclear and there is no documentation or information available that would tell users what this really does. That's why I suggested changing something to make this clear. I don't know what or how in the current design, though. IMO you'd have to redo the whole GUI. :/

I'm sure you come up with a better solution. :)
(I'm not the only one having or seeing a problem with it. See wilderssecurity forum)

Yes, you're right, there is no documentation and any other help and need taking time to understand the sick logic of author of simplewall, and i try to made UI changes in future, but...

...there, in my logic, special (and global) rules filters have higher priority than apps filters. Thats why app with checkbox and special rules stay on special rules group!

I think, i am answered your question!
