10.3.1 LAN-to-WAN rules
LAN-to-WAN
rules are local network to Internet firewall rules. The default is to forward all traffic from
your local network to the Internet.
How can you block certain LAN to WAN traffic?
You may choose to block certain
LAN-to-WAN
traffic in the
Services
screen (click the
Services
tab). All
services displayed in the
Blocked Services
list box are
LAN-to-WAN
firewall rules that block those
services originating from the LAN.
Blocked
LAN-to-WAN
packets are considered alerts. Alerts are “higher priority logs” that include system
errors, attacks and attempted access to blocked web sites. Alerts appear in red in the
View Log
screen. You
may choose to have alerts e-mailed immediately in the
Log Settings
screen.
LAN-to-LAN/Prestige means the LAN to the Prestige LAN interface. This is always allowed, as this is how
you manage the Prestige from your local computer.
10.3.2 WAN-to-LAN rules
WAN-to-LAN
rules are Internet to your local network firewall rules. The default is to block all traffic from
the Internet to your local network.
