Additional parameters can be passed using this property. Default type of the extra property is string (‘str’), but other types can be used as well. Available types are: ‘dict’, ‘list’, ‘str’, ‘bool’, ‘int’. In case of ‘list’ type, ‘value’ can be semicolon-separated list of values. For ‘dict’ value is semicolon-separated list of the key:value pairs.
Remote IP address block (may use CIDR notation; default for IPv4 rule: 0.0.0.0/0, default for IPv6 rule: ::/0)
