LAN WAN Outbound Services Rules

You can define rules that specify exceptions to the default rules. By adding custom rules, you can block or allow access based on the service or application, source or destination IP addresses, and time of day. An outbound rule may block or allow traffic between an internal IP LAN address and any external WAN IP address according to the schedule created in the Schedule menu.

You can also tailor these rules to your specific needs (see “Administrator Tips” on page 5-2).
