Configuring DMZ WAN Rules

The firewall rules for traffic between the DMZ and the WAN/Internet are configured on the DMZ WAN Rules screen. The Default Outbound Policy is to allow all traffic from and to the Internet to pass through. Firewall rules can then be applied to block specific types of traffic from either going out from the DMZ to the Internet (outbound) or coming in from the Internet to the DMZ (inbound). The default outbound policy can be changed to block all outbound traffic and enable only specific services to pass through the VPN firewall by adding an outbound services rule.

To create a new DMZ WAN outbound service policy:

1.Select Security from the main menu and Firewall Rules from the submenu. The LAN WAN Rules screen displays.

2.Select the DMZ WAN Rules tab. The DMZ WAN Rules screen displays.

3.Click Add under the Outbound Services table. The Add DMZ WAN Outbound Service screen displays (see Figure 4-5 on page 4-13).
