Change the Default Outbound Policy for LAN WAN Traffic

The default outbound policy allows all traffic to the Internet to pass through. You can then
apply firewall rules to block specific types of traffic from going out from the LAN to the Internet
(outbound). This feature is also referred to as service blocking.
You can change the default policy of Allow Always to Block Always to block all outbound
traffic, which then allows you to enable only specific services to pass through the VPN
firewall.
The following sections provide information about changing the default outbound policy for
LAN WAN traffic:
•

Change the Default LAN WAN Outbound Policy for IPv4 Traffic

• Change the Default LAN WAN Outbound Policy for IPv6 Traffic
Change the Default LAN WAN Outbound Policy for IPv4 Traffic
The following procedure describes how to change the default outbound policy for IPv4 traffic
from the LAN to the WAN.

To change the default outbound policy for LAN WAN IPv4 traffic:
1. On your computer, launch an Internet browser.
2. In the address field of your browser, enter the IP address that was assigned to the VPN
firewall during the installation process.
The VPN firewall factory default IP address is 192.168.1.1.
Description
The setting that determines whether packets covered by this rule
are logged. The options are as follows:
• Always. Always log traffic that matches this rule. This is
useful when you are debugging your rules.
• Never. Never log traffic that matches this rule.
Bandwidth limiting determines how the data is sent to and from
your host. The purpose of bandwidth limiting is to provide a
solution for limiting the outgoing and incoming traffic, thus
preventing the LAN users from consuming all the bandwidth of
the Internet link. For more information, see
Profiles for IPv4 Traffic on page 301. For inbound traffic, you can
configure bandwidth limiting only on the LAN interface for a LAN
WAN rule.
Note: When you enable a bandwidth profile, the performance of
the VPN firewall might be affected slightly.
Note: Bandwidth limiting does not apply to the DMZ interface.
