Sorry if it's a common question and has been answered.

I've had some issues with ABE when I connected to the wireless network at my university.
The way it's set up at the moment is:

# Prevent Internet sites from requesting LAN resources.
Site LOCAL
Accept from LOCAL
Deny
Site https://[university log in site]
Accept from https://[university log in site]


It works with this setting, but since I'm unsure about how you should set up ABE, I just want to confirm if this is the right way?
(I noticed that after the Site & Accept from LOCAL it has a line that says "Deny", what does this do? Should I set "Deny" after the "Accept from https://[university log in site]" line?)

The rule you put in the ruleset is apparently useless, since there's no other rule negating it.
Did it actually make some issue go away?
If so, could you please remove it temporarily and show me the message you get from ABE when (if) the issue comes back?

Yeah, I did get the issue to go away with this rule.
I was just wondering what the "Deny" does?

It blocks any connection to LOCAL (IPs belonging to a private network) if coming from the internet.
