Configure LAN WAN Rules

•Create LAN WAN Outbound Service Rules

•Create LAN WAN Inbound Service Rules

The default outbound policy is to allow all traffic to the Internet to pass through. Firewall rules can then be applied to block specific types of traffic from going out from the LAN to the Internet (outbound). This feature is also referred to as service blocking. You can change the default policy of Allow Always to Block Always to block all outbound traffic, which then allows you to enable only specific services to pass through the wireless VPN firewall.

To change the default outbound policy for IPv4 traffic or to change existing IPv4 rules:

1.Select Security > Firewall. The Firewall submenu tabs display with the LAN WAN Rules screen in view. In the upper right of the screen, the IPv4 radio button is selected by default. The LAN WAN Rules screen displays the IPv4 settings. (The following figure contains examples.)

Figure 63.

2.From the Default Outbound Policy drop-down list, select Block Always. (By default, Allow Always is selected.)

3.Next to the drop-down list, click the Apply table button.

To change an existing outbound or inbound service rule, in the Action column to the right of the rule, click one of the following table buttons:

•Up. Moves the rule up one position in the table rank.

•Down. Moves the rule down one position in the table rank.
