I probably know the answer already, but would there ever be a way of converting the config from an on-premise firewall to Nebula managed firewall without loosing the settings?

I have put most of my clients firewalls in on-premise mode as Nebula in its infancy did not allow for all the functionality I wanted.

Now Nebula is becoming a lot more advanced with many features within it's configuration I was wondering how people are moving all their settings across. Do you have to configure your rules etc. from scratch again are can they be exported/imported into Nebula?

    Hi @StevieG ,

    You're correct - there is no tool to directly transfer your on-premises firewall configurations to Nebula. You will need to reconfigure your firewall settings manually within Nebula. You can save the on-premises configuration file before registering the firewall to Nebula. After reconfiguring the firewall settings in Nebula, you can review and refine your firewall rules.
