You can add rules to further restrict the outbound communications or more widely open the

inbound communications. Exceptions can be based on the service or application, source or

destination IP addresses, and time of day. You can log traffic that matches or does not match

the rule and change the order of rule precedence.

Traffic attempting to pass through the firewall is subjected to the rules in the order shown in

the Rules table from the top (highest precedence) to the bottom. In some cases, the order of

precedence determines which communications are allowed into or out of the network.

The Firewall Rules screen lists all firewall rules that you have added.

• To add a firewall rule for outbound traffic, see the following section, Manage Outbound

Firewall Rules.

• To add a custom service that can be used in a firewall rule for outbound traf

fic, see Add

Custom Services to Allow or Block

on page 68.

• To add or change firewall rules for inbound traffic, see Set Up Port Forwarding to Local

Servers on page 105 and

After you have added outbound firewall rules, you can specify the days and time that you

want to block Internet access. For more information, see Schedule When to Block the

Internet on page 70.
