Firewall Protection

ProSafe Gigabit Quad WAN SSL VPN Firewall SRX5308

WARNING!

Allowing inbound services opens security holes in your VPN

firewall. Enable only those ports that are necessary for your

network.

The following table describes the fields that define the rules for outbound traffic and that are

common to most Outbound Service screens (see Figure 43 on page 93, Figure 46 on

page 96, and Figure 49 on page 99).

The steps to configure outbound rules are described in the following sections:

• Set LAN WAN Rules.

• Set DMZ WAN Rules.

• Set LAN DMZ Rules.

Table 18. Outbound rules overview

Setting Description

Service The service or application to be covered by this rule. If the service or application does

not appear in the list, you need to define it using the Services screen (see Add

Customized Services on page 112).

Action The action for outgoing connections covered by this rule:

• BLOCK always

• BLOCK by schedule, otherwise allow

• ALLOW always

• ALLOW by schedule, otherwise block

Note: Any outbound traffic that is not blocked by rules you create is allowed by the

default rule.

Note: ALLOW rules are useful only if the traffic is already covered by a BLOCK rule.

That is, you wish to allow a subset of traffic that is currently blocked by another rule.

Select Schedule The time schedule (that is, Schedule1, Schedule2, or Schedule3) that is used by this

rule.

• This drop-down list is activated only when BLOCK by schedule, otherwise allow or

ALLOW by schedule, otherwise block is selected as the Action.

• Use the schedule screen to configure the time schedules (see Set a Schedule to Block

or Allow Specific Traffic on page 121).
