Using Port Blocking

Firewall rules are used to block or allow specific traffic passing through from one side to the other.
Inbound rules (WAN to LAN) restrict access by outsiders to private resources, selectively allowing
only specific outside users to access specific resources. Instructions for setting up inbound rules
can be found in "Port Forwarding" on page
outside resources local users can have access to. This section describes how to set up outbound
rules.
