Logs are sent according to the schedule that you set. If the log fills up before the specified
time, it is sent. After the log is sent, it is cleared from the gateway memory. If the gateway
cannot email the log and the log buffer fills, the gateway overwrites the log.
Outbound Firewall Rules
You can add firewall rules to block or allow specific traffic. For information about inbound
rules, see
Set Up Port Forwarding to a Local Server
on page
44.
Note:
This feature is for advanced administrators only. Incorrect
configuration causes serious problems.
By default your gateway blocks any inbound traffic from the Internet to your computers except
for replies to your outbound traffic. You might need to create exceptions to this rule to allow
remote computers to access a server on your local network or to allow certain applications
and games to work correctly. Your gateway provides firewall rules for creating these
exceptions.
Authorized communications are established according to inbound and outbound rules.You
can create custom rules to further restrict the outbound communications or more widely open
the inbound communications.
