that's normal.  Most firewall rules are evaluated from top to bottom
(or first to last) and the first rule that matches typically exits the
evaluation chain (not always true)

thus, you have to put accept or allowable rules first, and then you have
a global "reject everything" at the end.

Not a problem! glad to help.
