The predefined policies provide outbound Internet access for computers on the SBG940 LAN. The SBG940 firewall uses stateful inspection to allow inbound responses when there already is an outbound session running corresponding to the data flow. For example, if you use a web browser, outbound HTTP connections are permitted on port 80. Inbound responses from the Internet are allowed because an outbound session is established.
When required, you can configure the SBG940 firewall to allow inbound packets without first establishing an outbound session. You also need to configure a port forwarding entry on the
Gateway > PORT FORWARDING — config Page or a DMZ client on the Gateway > LAN — nat config Page.
