4.2.5 Allow WAN-to-LAN Traffic through the Firewall

By default, the ZyWALL blocks any traffic initiated from the WAN to the LAN. To have the
ZyWALL forward traffic initiated from the WAN to a local computer or server on the LAN,
you need to configure a firewall rule to allow it.
In this example, you create the firewall rules to allow traffic from the WAN to the following
servers on the LAN:

• Web server
• Mail server
• FTP server

1 Click SECURITY > FIREWALL.
2 Make sure the firewall is enabled and traffic from the WAN to the LAN is dropped.
