14.8 Advanced Filtering
If you select Firewall Settings in the top navigation menu and then select Advanced Filtering in the left submenu,
the following screen will appear.
Advanced filtering is designed to allow comprehensive control over the firewall's behavior. You can define specific
input and output rules, control the order of logically similar sets of rules and make a distinction between rules that
apply to WAN and LAN devices.
This screen is divided into two sections, one for Input Rule Sets and the other for Output Rule Sets, which are for
configuring inbound and outbound traffic, respectively. Each section comprises subsets, which can be grouped into
three main subjects:
• Initial rules - rules defined here will be applied first, on all gateway devices.
• LAN/WAN rules - rules can be defined per each device.
• Final rules - rules defined here will be applied last, on all gateway devices.
To add rules to Input or Output rules sets, click the adjacent New Entry link.
