upctl server firewall create

Create a new firewall rule

To edit the default rule of the firewall, set only --direction and --action parameters. This creates catch-all rule that will take effect when no other rule matches. Note that the default rule must be positioned after all other rules. Use --position parameter or create default rule after other rules.
