The predefined policies provide outbound Internet access for computers on the SBG901 LAN.
The SBG901 firewall uses
an outbound session running that corresponds to the data flow. For example, if you use a web
browser, outbound HTTP connections are permitted on port 80. Inbound responses from the
Internet are allowed because an outbound session is established.
When required, you can configure the SBG901 firewall to allow inbound packets without first
establishing an outbound session. You also need to configure a port forwarding entry on the
Advanced Port Forwarding Page
