Firewall Rules

A firewall has two default rules, one for inbound traffic (WAN to LAN) and one for outbound
traffic.
• Inbound Rules (Port Forwarding): These rules restrict access from outsiders. The default
rule is to block all access from outside except responses to requests from the LAN side. You
can use Port Forwarding to add predefined or custom rules to specify exceptions to the default
rule.
• Outbound Rules (Port Blocking): These rules control access to outside resources from local
users.The default rule is to allow all access from the LAN side to the outside. You can use Port
Blocking to add predefined or custom rules to specify exceptions to the default rules.
