Firewalls and security groups

Updated 22 July 2026

The Firewalls screen lists your firewalls (or security groups). Each card shows how many rules it has, what it's applied to, and a few example rules. Tapping a card opens it as Edit › where you can change it, or View › where the provider only allows reading (Google Cloud firewalls are view-only).

Creating a firewall

Tap Create (read/write connections) to open the editor with a blank firewall. Give it a name, add rules, then Create firewall.

Rules

The editor shows how the provider treats traffic:

Tap + Add rule and set:

Save rules with Save rules.

Applying a firewall

On an existing firewall you can Apply to… a target (a server, an IP, or a network interface) and Remove from… one. The picker only offers the target types the provider supports.

Deleting

Delete firewall removes it. Some providers refuse this while the firewall is still attached to something (common on AWS) — detach it first.
