Reference Manual for the ProSafe Wireless 802.11g VPN Firewall Model FVG318
5-4 Firewall Protection and Content Filtering
v1.0, October 2005
Keyword application examples:
• If the keyword "XXX" is specified, the URL <http://www.badstuff.com/xxx.html> is blocked,
as is the newsgroup alt.pictures.XXX.
• If the keyword “.com” is specified, only Web sites with other domain suffixes (such as .edu or
.gov) can be viewed.
• If you wish to block all Internet browsing access, enter the keyword “.”.
To exempt specific trusted domains from keyword filtering, add them to the Trusted Domains list.
Web component filtering still applies to these domains.
To add a trusted domain, type it in the Trusted Domains box, click Add Trusted Domain, then
click Apply.
To delete a domain, select it from the list, click Delete Trusted Domain, then click Apply.
Using Rules to Block or Allow Specific Kinds of Traffic
Firewall rules are used to block or allow specific traffic passing through from one side to the other.
Inbound rules (WAN to LAN) restrict access by outsiders to private resources, selectively allowing
only specific outside users to access specific resources. Outbound rules (LAN to WAN) determine
what outside resources local users can have access to.
A firewall has two default rules, one for inbound traffic and one for outbound. The default rules of
the FVG318 are:
• Inbound: Block all access from outside except responses to requests from the LAN side.
• Outbound: Allow all access from the LAN side to the outside.
