You can change an existing firewall rule if it does not function the way that you want. You can use the Modify option to change the settings of an existing firewall rule. When you change a rule, the firewall uses the new criteria of the modified rule to control network traffic.

You cannot modify some of the default rules that are locked. However, you can view the settings of these rules by using the View option.
