For example, if an inbound rule for a schedule is selected as Block Always, then for every packet that tries to make an outbound connection for that service, a message with the packet’s source and destination addresses, along with other information will be recorded in the log. Enabling logging may generate a significant volume of log messages and is recommended for debugging purposes only.

Note: See “Setting up Port Triggering” on page 4-28 for yet another way to allow certain types of inbound traffic that would otherwise be blocked by the

firewall.
