Firewall functionality is built into the Peplink Balance. By default, inbound access is
unrestricted. Enabling a basic level of protection involves setting up firewall rules.
For example, in order to protect your private network from external access, you can set
up a firewall rule between the Internet and your private network. To do so, navigate to
Network>Firewall>Access Rules. Then click the Add Rule button in the Inbound
Firewall Rules table and change the settings according to the following screenshot:
After the fields have been entered as in the screenshot, click Save to add the rule.
Afterwards, change the default inbound rule to Deny by clicking the default rule in the
Inbound Firewall Rules table. Click Apply Changes on the top right corner to
complete the process.
Outbound Access Restriction
Scenario
For security reasons, it may be appropriate to restrict outbound access. For example,
you may want to prevent LAN users from using ftp to transfer files to and from the
Internet. This can easily be achieved by setting up an outbound firewall rule with the
Peplink Balance.
