Blocking External Sites
By default, the security stance of the SOHO is to deny all incoming
packets from the Internet to computers on the trusted network
protected by the SOHO firewall. However, if a user initiates
contact with an external site, the return traffic will be allowed
through the firewall. You can selectively close your network to
certain Internet sites entirely.
