To reinstate it at a later time, simply reselect the check box.
To remove a rule:

Gaming
Most games and gaming consoles only require UPnP (Universal Plug-n-Play) to be turned on. L13 is preconfigured with
UPnP “ON”, as the default.
Some games or other applications also require port forwarding in order for them to be able
to access internet services. Most use the common gaming ports.
The Gaming feature allows you to select one computer on the local network for gaming activities. Port forwarding on
this computer will automatically be set up on this computer for the common gaming ports.
To designate a computer for gaming:
1.
In the WBM, select the
Firewall
menu item under the
Services
tab, and click the
Gaming
link. The
Gaming
screen appears.
