Creating Custom Rules
13-3
Source Address
What is the connection’s source address; is it on the LAN or WAN? Is it a single IP, a range of IPs or a
subnet?
Destination Address
What is the connection’s destination address; is it on the LAN or WAN? Is it a single IP, a range of IPs or a

13.3 Connection Direction
This section talks about configuring firewall rules for connections going from LAN to WAN and WAN to
LAN in your firewall.
13.3.1 LAN to WAN Rules
The default rule for LAN to WAN traffic is that all users on the LAN are allowed non-restricted access to the
WAN. When you configure Policy -> LAN to WAN -> Rules, you in essence want to limit some or all users
from accessing certain services on the WAN. See the following figure.
Figure 13-1 LAN to WAN Traffic
13.3.2 WAN to LAN Rules
The default rule for WAN to LAN traffic blocks all incoming connections (WAN to LAN). If you wish to
allow certain WAN users to have access to your LAN, you will need to create custom rules to allow it.
See the following figure.
