Once you have entered all applicable information, click Add Outbound Policy. From the subsequent page that displays, you can move or edit this policy using the Up, Dn (short for Down), Edit, and Delete buttons. Important: The firewall applies outbound policies in a top-down order according to their location in the policy table page. Once you have created all your rules, or policies, use the Up and Dn buttons to put them in order in the table from top to bottom. You can always add an All policy at the bottom of the list, so that if there are any packets that don’t match any of the above policies in the list, they will be denied (if you set up Deny All), or permitted (if you set up Allow All).
