Firewall Rules
The Firewall Rules screen allows you to define "Firewall Rules" which can allow or prevent

By default:
• All Outgoing traffic is permitted.
• All Incoming traffic is denied.
"Traffic" means incoming connection attempts, not packets.
Because of this default behavior, any Outgoing rules will generally Block traffic, and
Incoming rules will generally Allow traffic.
