Outbound Rules
The VPN firewall allows you to block the use of certain Internet services by computers on
your network. This is called service blocking or port filtering.
The following table describes the fie
l
ds that define the rules for outbound traffic and that are
common to most Outbound Service screens.
Table 29. Outbound rules overview
Setting Description Outbound Rules
Service The service or application to be covered by this rule. If the service
or application does not display in the list, you must define it using
the Services screen (see Add Customized Services on
page 176).
All rules
Action The action for outgoing connections covered by this rule:
• BLOC
K always

Note: Any outbo
und traffic that is not blocked by rules you create
is allowed by the default rule.
Note: ALLOW rules are useful only if the traffic is already covered
by a BLOCK rule. That is, you wish to allow a subset of traffic that
is blocked by another rule.
