Port Filtering

Port Filtering allows you to block outgoing Internet connections and permit only allowed

applications to access the Internet. You can also customize a list of allowed applications which

permits only certain programs to connect to the Internet.

Click

ON

to enable Port Filtering. When the feature is

enabled

, you must select a port filtering

application in the

Applications

list to allow that application to connect to the Internet. For example,

if you select VPN in the Applications list but do not select HTTP, you can connect to a VPN server but

you cannot connect to a web page using your Internet browser.

Click

OFF

to disable Port Filtering. When the feature is

disabled

, any application can connect to the

Internet.

The Port Filtering menu contains the following sections:

•

Applications

the Internet by checking the box next to one or more applications. When port filtering is

enabled, all other applications are blocked.

•

Custom Applications

them as needed. To define an application, you need to know the outgoing ports used by the

application.
