The OpenWrt firewall will drop packets on the WAN by default
Actual behavior: reject packets without rate limit like there is no tomorrow

(I'd prefer to silence WAN as much as possible, just rejecting is menace for aymmetrical dsl/cable connections)
I wrote that since so much of the nftables falls under drop, but I see what you mean about reject being correct for wan. If there is a specific sentence rewrite you are suggesting please write it clearly and I will replace it. edit: in the meantime I switched the word from drop to reject.
"Does not accept connections on WAN"
That is to softly say what i said ( )
Ok made a few tweaks throughout the page, hope it’s good enough. Noticed there are few other outdated guides in that category like the one for the Paranoid that discusses LEDE. Oh well might look at that later.
