Setting LAN WAN Rules
The Default Outbound Policy is to allow all traffic from and to the Internet to pass through.
Firewall rules can then be applied to block specific types of traffic from either going out from the
LAN to the Internet (Outbound) or coming in from the Internet to the LAN (Inbound). The default
policy can be changed to block all outbound traffic and enable only specific services to pass
through the router.
To change the Default Outbound Policy:
1. Select Security from the main menu and Firewall Rules from the submenu. The LAN WAN
Rules screen will display.
2. Change the Default Outbound Policy by selecting Block Always from the drop-down menu
and click Apply.
