Would it be feasible to implement Enable/Disable for each existing Port-Forwarding rule?

I recently discovered by chance that I had many undesired rules towards my NAS. Probably my mistake enabling UPNP sometime. But I could not distinguish between my own rules and the UPNP created rules and the only choice was to delete them, at the risk of deleting a wanted rule too many (with all the later consequences). I would have expected an Enable/Disable checkbox (=1 bit) in front of every rule. That would be really nice for many users. A rule comment field would be great too! And a create date. And a create user (admin, UPNP+ip).

But hey, first just that wee bit for each rule?

Not easily, for various reasons. This would most likely have to be done upstream by Asus.

You're expecting too much out of a home gateway...

You can already tell which forward is done from UPNP by looking at the System Log -> Port Forwarding page. And UPNP clients that decide to do so will also provide a comment along with their rule, also displayed on that same page.
