Configuring Incoming And Outgoing Services; Common Services - Watchguard Firebox SOHO 6 User Manual

Chapter 6: Configure the Firewall Settings

Configuring Incoming and Outgoing Services

The default configuration of the SOHO 6 prevents the transmission
of all packets from the external network to the trusted network.
Change the configuration to select the types of traffic that are
permitted. For example, to operate a Web server behind the
SOHO 6, add an incoming Web service.
Select carefully the number and the types of services that you add.
The added services decrease the security of your network.
Compare the value of access to each service against the security
risk caused by that service.

Common services
