Feature Request - Colour Coded Rules

This thread is for debate

I have 40 rules in my ruleset.  I am finding it hard to maintain.  I would find it much easier if I can assign a logical colour scheme to each rule, example would be...

Light green:  External Rules
Red:              Internal Rules
Purple:          VPN rules.
Brown:          Groups

My collegue says some other firewalls do similar things.

What do others think?

Version 5 allows you to colour code rules.

In order to use Color Encoding of rules, you need ASL V5.

You can assign every packetfilter rule into a Group, those groups are only used for marking similar rules and have no effect on the functionality at all.
You can use the Filters to only see parts of your ruleset and Each group gets its own color assigned automatically.

you can find a screenshot example attached.
