Subject: [PATCH docs v2] pve-firewall: link to implicit rules section.
Date: Tue,  5 May 2026 13:20:49 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260505112049.52552-1-m.federanko@proxmox.com> (raw)

Updated the documentation note to link to the default rules.
Also added a section directing users to the macro system if they need
additional rules.

Add a note to the Ceph section that the firewall has to be configured,
if it is enabled.
