Outbound Firewall Rules

You can add firewall rules to block or allow specific traffic. For information about inbound

rules, see

Set Up Port Forwarding to a Local Server

on page

44.

Note:

This feature is for advanced administrators only. Incorrect

configuration causes serious problems.

By default your gateway blocks any inbound traffic from the Internet to your computers except

for replies to your outbound traffic. You might need to create exceptions to this rule to allow

remote computers to access a server on your local network or to allow certain applications

and games to work correctly. Your gateway provides firewall rules for creating these

exceptions.

Authorized communications are established according to inbound and outbound rules.You

can create custom rules to further restrict the outbound communications or more widely open

the inbound communications.
