STEP 5: Put the mini appliance into production.

The mini appliance can be put into production in the following ways:

Bridge Mode

In Bridge mode, the mini appliance works as an inline device between your network 
and the Internet. It acts like a bridge, allowing Internet traffic to flow transparently 
through it. You want to place CyBlock Mini Appliance in front of all computers that you 
want to filter and behind your firewall/cable modem. Using an Ethernet cable, plug 
your filtered internal network traffic (LAN) into the right-side LAN port. Next, plug your 
unfiltered traffic (WAN) into the left-side LAN port.
