Why is user and source mandatory?

Hi,

Could you please explain? I have some rules on the Chef server. I run chef-client on the box, the rules are applied and then the rules get removed from the Chef server. This means that on the next chef-client run all traffic will get blocked.

I am not sure if I am missing something?

This projects looks perfect for what I'm looking for, however, are there some more 'general' usecases that can help break down what problems AFW can solve?

(Blog, wiki, etc versus github directly possibly).

For example, nginix server fronting a tomcat app that talks to a mysql database (3 different servers, 3 different chef recipes/templates) sounds like what AFW handles the network connecting piece between each (nginix:80 -> public facing, nginix* -> tomcat:8080, tomcat:* -> mysql:3306)

If this seems correct, maybe just a link to wiki or blog that helps provide some hands-on examples (don't get me wrong, the examples in the readme are great, but assume some expectations that you already know what you are doing :-).
