Basic Firewall Question

caliph
Hello.

I cannot wrap my head around this very basic issue.
I have configured 2 firewall rules in the UTM:

position --          source  --       service  --      action --   destination
1      --              x.x.x.61  --     any      --       reject --   any
2      --              any     --        websurf  --     allow  --    any

Why can this host 61 still surf the internet? In my understanding the 1st rule will be applied and the second will be ignored for host 61.

Any advice is apprciated.

Best regards,
Stefan

    Thank you for your answers. I also checked the Rulz and now understand the order of handling.

    And yes I have web protection activated.

    Do you have any suggestion how to achieve this goal: 
    for host 61: block all traffic to "any" except for "PPTP" and "Terminal Applications".
    Before the UTM deployment I would use the firewall to achieve this. What would be a smart way to do it with web protection enabled?
