Probably the most important task in configuring a firewall is defining policy. This essentially involves specifying what traffic will be permitted by the firewall. Policy is defined in the ''Policy'' screen of the Firestarter user interface (as shown above).

Firstarter allows Policy to be defined for both inbound and outbound traffic via the ''Editing''. Select either ''Outbound policy'' or ''Inbound policy'' depending on the rules you wish to edit.
