In my option the tabs you select, WAN/LAN/Opti, should read WAN-to-LAN, 
WAN-to-Opti, LAN-to-WAN, Opti-to-WAN, Opti-to-LAN and LAN-to-Opti which 
would make the direction the rule is to apply to a little more descriptive. 
They could even be all on the same page with a drop down list to select in 
which direction the packets are traveling. Although once you get use to m0n0 
it becomes clear.
