Arranging policies in the Int to Ext and Outgoing policy list

Arrange policies in the Int to Ext policy list (NAT mode) or the Outgoing policy list (Transparent mode) to
make sure that the policies function as you expect them to. When the DFL-1000 receives a connection
attempt from your internal network, it decides whether to accept or deny the connection or require
authentication by matching it with a policy on the Int to Ext or Outgoing policy list. The first policy to match
the connection attempt is applied. In general, you should arrange policies that deny connections above
policies that accept connections. For more information on policy matching, see Policies.
