# DigitalOcean control panel: add a Cloud Firewall rule

## Steps
1. Open the Cloud Firewall's rules page.
2. In the Inbound rules section, click Add inbound rule (or Add outbound rule in Outbound rules).
3. Set the type, port range, sources (or destinations), and action.
4. Click Add inbound rule / Add outbound rule to save it.

## End state
The new rule is added to the firewall and applies immediately to every Droplet or resource the firewall is attached to.
