Hi, so when I try to delete a firewall rule and then save it, it reappears and can no longer be removed.

What hub are you using and where are you seeing these 'firewall rules'?

If it's a port forwarding rule, then it could be that a device on your local network is automatically creating the rule using UPnP. If so, you can prevent the behaviour by disabling UPnP however, if this is what's happening, I assume the device in question is doing it for a reason.
