Firewall Filters

A firewall is a method for keeping a network secure from intruders, by using filters to

block the transmission of certain types of (service) traffic. Once created, firewalls are

a security feature that allows only certain types of services to pass in and/or out of your

LAN. Firewalls can be created on a per remote profile basis. Each filter consists of a

set of drop/pass rules which are applied in the order in which they appear on the list —

in other words, rule 1 is applied before rule 2 and so on. This set of rules constitutes a

filter for a specific remote profile and will be applied to that profile’s incoming or

outgoing, or both traffic types (service flaws).
