FIREWALL

The WebShare Firewall feature allows users to control the types of Internet traffic allowed to be sent and received by users on your local network.

Inbound/Outbound Traffic

Inbound traffic consists of messages that originate outside the end-user network. Outbound traffic consists of messages that the end user creates (or forwards) from the local network and sends to users or systems outside the network. Both inbound and outbound traffic must pass through the firewall security system.

	Table 5. Firewall Functions
Firewall Function		Description
Security		Controls outbound traffic initiated from within
		the local network.

		local network.
Advanced Access		Allows customized control of outbound traffic
		initiated from within the local network.

Firewall Security

The Security panel controls settings for outbound traffic initiated within the local network. Security options allow for High, Medium, and Low levels of traffic screening. In addition, a user-configured Custom setting is available.
