Why it is not possible to add a linked NAT rule to a FW rule?

Tomas Z

I am creating a new firewall rule and want to add a linked NAT rule to it, but the fields for adding source, destination and other parameters are greyed out:

That warning which is visible in the printscreen does not make sense to me - can someone translate it into human language?

I also tried to create a NAT rule first, but did not find any option to later add it to the firewalll rule

    Essentially i would not recommend to use a Linked NAT Rule at all. The message here basically means: The blocked filters are related to the firewall rule and the only thing, you can change, is "what to do with the SNAT". 

    But if you want to have a granular approach, simply create a SNAT Rule as you need it. 

    BTW: SNAT in general is not needed in most deployments: You have the MASQ Rule, which hits as default rule. If you need to do a SNAT; you can configure it based on your needs.
