+VNet Configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+VNet related configuration is read from:
+
+ /etc/pve/sdn/firewall/<vnet_name>.fw
+
+This can be used for setting firewall configuration globally on a VNet level,
+without having to set firewall rules for each VM inside the VNet separately. It
+can only contain rules for the `FORWARD` direction, since there is no notion of
+incoming or outgoing traffic. This affects all traffic travelling from one
+bridge port to another, including the host interface.
+
+WARNING: This feature is currently only available for the new
+xref:pve_firewall_nft[nftables-based proxmox-firewall]
+
+Since traffic passing the `FORWARD` chain is bi-directional, you need to create
+rules for both directions if you want traffic to pass both ways. For instance
if
+HTTP traffic for a specific host should be allowed, you would need to create
the
+following rules:

+FORWARD ACCEPT -dest 10.0.0.1 -dport 80
+FORWARD ACCEPT -source 10.0.0.1 -sport 80
