Outbound Rule Example: Blocking Instant Messenger

If you want 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 in the Schedule menu. You can also have the router

log any attempt to use Instant Messenger during that blocked period.
