Reference Manual for the ProSafe VPN Firewall FVS318v3 To specify a Trusted User, enter that PC's IP address in the Trusted User box and click Apply. You may specify one Trusted User, which is a PC that will be exempt from blocking and logging. Since the Trusted User will be identified by an IP address, you should configure that PC with a fixed or reserved IP address. 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 FVS318v3 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. These default rules are shown in the Rules table of the Rules menu in Figure 4-2: Figure 4-2: Rules menu Firewall Protection and Content Filtering 4-3 January 2005
