NAME

       sanewall-group - group commands with common options

SYNOPSIS

       group with [rule-params]

       group end

DESCRIPTION

       The group command allows you to group together multiple client and server commands.

       Grouping commands with common options (see optional rule parameters:
       sanewall-rule-params(5)) allows the option values to be checked only once in the generated
       firewall rather than once per service, making it more efficient.

       Nested groups may be used.

EXAMPLES

       This:

           interface any world
               client all accept
               server http accept

               # Provide these services to trusted hosts only
               server "ssh telnet" accept src "192.0.2.1 192.0.2.2"

       can be replaced to produce a more efficient firewall by this:

           interface any world
               client all accept
               server http accept

               # Provide these services to trusted hosts only
               group with src "192.0.2.1 192.0.2.2"
                   server ssh telnet
                   server ssh accept
               group end
