Cisco RV180/RV180W uses to selectively block and allow inbound and outbound
Internet traffic. You then specify how and to what devices the rules apply. You can
configure the following:
• Services or traffic types (examples: web browsing, VoIP, other standard
services and also custom services that you define) that the router should
allow or block.
• Rules for outbound (from your LAN to the Internet) or inbound (from the
Internet to your LAN) traffic.
