Manage Simple Outbound Firewall Rules for Services and 
Applications
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 DST router provides one default outbound firewall rule: It allows al\
l access to the Internet  (that is, the W
 AN). You can add simple rules to prevent access to specific services and  
						

							Control Access to the Internet 82
Nighthawk DST AC1900 DST Router and DST Adpater Model R7300DST 
applications on the Internet. In addition, you can specify if a rule app\
lies to one user, a range 
of users, or all users on your LAN.
The DST 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 applic\
ation.
For information about blocking specific keywords, URLs, or sites, see  Use Keywords to Block 
Internet Sites on page  78. This type of blocking is another aspect of the outbound firewall. 
For information about inbound firewall rules, see Chapter 17, Manage Port Forwarding and 
Port Triggering.
Note: Service blocking means the same thing as applying outbound firewall 
rules.
