Comment: Windows 7 Firewall has outbound blocking, but most people don't know that you have to turn it on. When outbound blocking is turned on, it only allows the programs and services you specify to talk to the net. Malware will have a hard time reporting back to their servers. However, it is missing a feature that tells you what it has blocked outbound. So after installing a program that needs to connect to the net, like your antivirus program, you have test those exe files one by one to see which is responsible for talking.

From the Windows Firewall Control Panel, you can configure various settings, including enabling or disabling the firewall for private and public networks. You can also create and manage inbound and outbound rules to control which applications and services can communicate through the firewall. Additionally, users can view the firewall's security status and access advanced settings for more detailed configuration options. Lastly, it allows you to restore default settings if needed.

Inbound ACLs are more efficient for routers because they filter traffic before it is processed and routed, reducing the load on the router's CPU and memory. By applying rules as packets arrive at the interface, they prevent unnecessary processing of unwanted traffic. In contrast, outbound ACLs require the router to first route the traffic before applying the rules, which can lead to increased resource usage and potential delays. Thus, inbound ACLs help optimize performance by minimizing the amount of traffic that needs to be handled.
They mark the left hand side (port) of the navigable channel when you are 'outbound,' and they will be on your right had side (starboard) when you are 'inbound.' (RED = RIGHT = RETURN)
The rule for outbound vessels generally refers to the navigation regulations that govern vessels leaving a port or harbor. Outbound vessels typically have the right of way over inbound vessels to avoid collisions and ensure safe passage. However, specific rules can vary based on local maritime regulations and the traffic conditions in the area. It is essential for operators to be aware of these rules and communicate effectively with other vessels to maintain safety at sea.
