Managing External Services

Note: The External services page has been superseded by the functionality on the Network > Outgoing > Policies page and has been deprecated. It is removed in a future update.

You can prevent local network hosts from using external services by creating appropriate policies to stop outbound traffic.

To create an external service rule:

1.

Go to the Network > Outgoing > External services page and configure the following settings:

Setting	Description
Service	Select Empty from the drop-down list.
Service rule name	Enter a name for the rule.
Protocol	Select the protocol used by the service.
Service	From the drop-down menu, select the service, port, port range or group of ports. Or, to specify a user defined port, select User defined.
Port	If User defined is selected in the Service drop-down menu, enter a single port or port range. Port ranges are specified using an A:B notation. For example: 1000:1028 covers the range of ports from 1000 to 1028.
Rejection logging	Select to log all traffic rejected by the external services rule
Stealth mode	Select to allow traffic that would normally be rejected by the external services rule and log all traffic in the firewall logs.

2.

Click Save. In the Add a new rule area:

Setting	Description
Destination IP	Enter the IP address of the external service to which the rule applies.
Comment	Enter a description of the rule.
Enabled	Select to enable the rule.

3.

Click Add. The external service rule is added to the Current rules region:
