Second-best call. 40 Hero Points.

Defensible — it restores a known-good ruleset, and tonight's backup probably runs. But wholesale rollback throws away every change you made on purpose, and it identifies nothing: you still don't know which rule blocked the backup port, so the same break can return the next time you touch the firewall.

The lesson: A rollback buys tonight. It doesn't buy understanding.
