traffic blocking to allow or block VPN traffic transmitting between the VPN tunnel
and other interfaces in the LAN zone. If you add the VPN tunnel to a new zone (the

the ZyWALL.
Session Limits
Accessing the ZyWALL or network resources through the ZyWALL requires a NAT
session and corresponding firewall session. Peer to peer applications, such as file

firewall sessions a client can use.
