
Services or traffic types (examples: web browsing, VoIP, other standard services and
also custom services that you define)

Direction for the traffic by specifying the source and destination of traffic; this is
done by specifying the "From Zone" (LAN/ Option /DMZ) and "To Zone" (LAN/
Option /DMZ)

Schedules as to when the controller should apply rules

Any Keywords (in a domain name or on a URL of a web page) that the controller
should allow or block

Rules for allowing or blocking inbound and outbound Internet traffic for specified
services on specified schedules

MAC addresses of devices that should not access the internet

Port triggers that signal the controller to allow or block access to specified services

PCs on your network from being accessed by the Option or public DMZ network.
