Question:
If I want to switch from a Standalone configuration to a Nebula configuration, do I need to completely reconfigure the firewall?

Answer:
There are two Nebula modes: Cloud Mode and Cloud Monitoring Mode.

Switch from Standalone mode to Cloud Mode
There is no direct way to transfer your on-premise firewall configuration to Nebula. You need to reset your firewall to default settings and manually reconfigure settings within the Nebula platform. However, you can save your on-premise configuration file before registering the firewall to Nebula. This will allow you to review and refine your firewall rules after configuring them in Nebula
