Firewall Rules

The Firewall Rules screen allows you to define "Firewall Rules" which can allow or
prevent certain traffic. "Traffic" means incoming connection attempts, not packets.

By default:
• All Outgoing traffic is permitted.
• All Incoming traffic is denied.

Because of this default behavior, any Outgoing rules will generally Block traffic, and
Incoming rules will generally Allow traffic.
