Firewall Rules

The Firewall Rules screen allows you to define "Firewall Rules" which can allow or prevent certain traffic. "Traffic" means incoming connection attempts, not packets.

By default:

•All Outgoing traffic is permitted.

•All Incoming traffic is denied.

Because of this default behavior, any Outgoing rules will generally Block traffic, and Incom- ing rules will generally Allow traffic.
