simple and useful, add a checkbox to generate o not automatic filter and nat rules.....
autogenerated rules sometimes are just annoying

Those NAT rules are what make the Hotspot work. Without them, there's no Hotspot.

I have also experienced a problem as well with the hotspot dynamic rules.

There are random times when enabling a hotspot where the dynamic rules are placed ABOVE all other rules, locking me out remotely. It would be nice to have to ability to manually create these rules instead of being dynamically generated, on disable/enable of a hotspot server.

Note:
- If all hotspot servers are disabled, the dynamic rules disappear.
- If at least 1 hotspot server is enabled, the dynamic rules get generated.

Just some thoughts, this isn't a major problem though, I've learned to work around it.

So, from your perspective ...
In some environments, customers receive public IP, nat not need, and the rules for non-autorized customers, I prefer to write this myself

rules in the filter table, also prefer to be customized ....

In other situation, I only use hotspot for radius validation and this rules are annoying, ROS not support yet 802.1X for ethernet interfaces
