For example, when accessing a website on the Internet, a request is
sent to the Internet for this site. When the request reaches your

Gateway is configured to block requests of this type from this
computer, the firewall allows this type of request to pass to the
Internet.
When the website is returned from the web server, the firewall
associates the website with this session and allows it to pass;
