ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN FVS336G Reference Manual Outbound Rules (Service Blocking) The FVS336G allows you to block the use of certain Internet services by PCs on your network. This is called service blocking or port filtering. Note: See "Enabling Source MAC Filtering" on page 4-22 for yet another way to block outbound traffic from selected PCs that would otherwise be allowed by the firewall. Table 4-1. Outbound Rules Item Service Name Action (Filter) Action (Select Schedule) LAN users Description Select the desired Service or application to be covered by this rule. If the desired service or application does not appear in the list, you must define it using the Services menu (see "Adding Customized Services" on page 4-16). Select the desired action for outgoing connections covered by this rule: • BLOCK always • BLOCK by schedule, otherwise Allow • ALLOW always • ALLOW by schedule, otherwise Block Note: Any outbound traffic which is not blocked by rules you create will be allowed by the Default rule. ALLOW rules are only useful if the traffic is already covered by a BLOCK rule. That is, you wish to allow a subset of traffic that is currently blocked by another rule. Select the desired time schedule (Schedule1, Schedule2, or Schedule3) that will be used by this rule. • This drop down menu gets activated only when "BLOCK by schedule, otherwise Allow" or "ALLOW by schedule, otherwise Block" is selected as Action. • Use schedule page to configure the time schedules (see "Setting a Schedule to Block or Allow Specific Traffic" on page 4-18). These settings determine which computers on your network are affected by this rule. Select the desired options: • Any - All PCs and devices on your LAN. • Single address - Enter the required address and the rule will be applied to that particular PC. • Address range - If this option is selected, you must enter the start and finish fields. • Groups - Select the Group to which this rule will apply. Use the LAN Groups screen (under Network Configuration) to assign PCs to Groups. See "Managing Groups and Hosts (LAN Groups)" on page 3-5.
