WatchGuard Firebox X Edge
Incoming and outgoing traffic
Traffic that does not start in your trusted or optional network is
incoming traffic. Traffic that starts in your trusted or optional net-
work and goes to the external network is outgoing traffic. In the
default configuration, the Firebox stops all traffic from getting to
your trusted network.
The default configuration of the Firebox X Edge allows this
traffic:
- From the trusted network to the external network
- From the trusted network to the optional network
- From the optional network to the external network
The default configuration of the Firebox denies this traffic:
- From the external network to the trusted network
- From the optional network to the trusted network
- From the external network to the optional network
Traffic through VPN tunnels
When you create a Mobile User VPN tunnel from remote users, or
when you create a Branch Office VPN tunnel to other offices, the
Firebox X Edge automatically allows all traffic through that VPN
tunnel. No other configuration is necessary after the VPN tunnel is
set up.
