Hi Cha0s,
Thanks for posting here.
I tried to created the SQL db firewall rules using the management portal it worked fine by following these steps mentioned in the link.

Server-Level Firewall Rules
Server-level firewall rules can be created and managed through the Microsoft Azure Management Portal, Transact-SQL, Azure PowerShell, or REST API.
Manage Server-Level Firewall Rules through Management Portal
From the Management Portal, click SQL Databases. All databases and their corresponding servers are listed here.
Click Servers at the top of the page.
Click the arrow beside the server for which you want to manage firewall rules.
Click Configure at the top of the page.
To add the current computer, click Add to the Allowed IP Addresses.
To add additional IP addresses, type in the Rule Name,
Start IP Address, and End IP Address.
To modify an existing rule, click any of the fields in the rule and modify.
To delete an existing rule, hover over the rule until the X appears at the end of the row.  Click
X to remove the rule.
Click Save at the bottom of the page to save the changes.
Note: Unique does not mean new name to you while setting up the firewall rules, but it should be a new name provided where your database is located in the specified location(for eg. North Europe, East US datacenters.)
