Outbound Rules Example - NETGEAR ProSafe FVS336Gv2 Reference Manual

ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN FVS336Gv2 Reference Manual
To expose one of the PCs on your LAN as this host:
1. Create an inbound rule that allows all protocols.
2. Place the new rule below all other inbound rules.
Note: For security, NETGEAR strongly recommends that you avoid
creating an exposed host. When a computer on your LAN is
designated as the exposed host, it loses much of the protection of
the firewall and is exposed to many exploits from the Internet. If
compromised, the computer can be used to attack your network.

Outbound Rules Example

Outbound rules let you prevent users from using applications such as Instant Messenger,
Real Audio, or other non-essential services.
LAN WAN Outbound Rule: Blocking Instant Messenger
To block Instant Messenger usage by employees during working hours, you can create an
outbound rule to block that application from any internal IP address to any external address
according to the schedule that you have created on the Schedule screen. See the example
shown in .
You can also have the VPN firewall log any attempt to use Instant Messenger during that
blocked period.
