Create LAN WAN Outbound Service Rules

You can define rules that specify exceptions to the default rules. By adding custom rules, you

can block or allow access based on the service or application, source or destination IP

addresses, and time of day. An outbound rule can block or allow traffic between an internal IP

LAN address and any external WAN IP address according to the schedule created on the

Schedule screen.

WARNING:

Make sure that you understand the consequences of a LAN WAN

outbound rule before you apply the rule. Incorrect configuration

might cause serious connection problems.

You can also tailor these rules to your specific needs (see

Administrator Tips

on page 126).
