Is this rule blocking all inbound traffic?

Is this rule blocking all inbound traffic?

It will block all "filter-able" inbound traffic.

There are "Filter local ..." flags in the Options: IP Addresses: LAN, which are ticked off by default.
So the LAN addresses are always auto-allowed by default.

Also this rule will block all incoming ICMP requests too, so you can't ping your machine from Internet (if you are not behind router).

(local_port() is redundant here.)

Should I replace "local_port" with "port" to work?
I want when allowing program to connect, to have only outbound traffic, while blocking all inbound one.

Only "dir(in)" is sufficient to block all incoming connections and requests for all protocols (UDP, TCP, ICMP etc) to any local port (1-65535).

Thank you; I will modify the rule.
