With this filter in effect, users from outside the firewall cannot initiate TCP connections to devices on your network, including your FTP server, Web server, and Telnet. To provide limited access to your network, set up a filter to forward traffic to a specific port, such as the FTP server port, Web server port, or Telnet port, and to a specific IP address and mask, in addition to restricting all outside TCP connections.
