Block Services and Applications With Simple
Outbound Firewall Rules
A firewall protects one network (the trusted network, such as your LAN) from another
(the untrusted network, such as the Internet), while allowing communication between
the two.
The router provides one default outbound firewall rule: It allows all access to the Internet
(that is, the WAN). You can add simple rules to prevent access to specific services and
applications on the Internet. In addition, you can specify if a rule applies to one user, a
range of users, or all users on your LAN.
The router lists many default services and applications that you can use in outbound
rules. You can also add an outbound firewall rule for a custom service or application.
For information about blocking specific keywords, URLs, or sites, see Block Access to
Internet Sites on page 72. This type of blocking is another aspect of outbound firewall
rules.
Note: Service blocking means the same thing as applying outbound firewall rules.
