How safe is allowing all Outgoing Traffic?

JohnKenny
Hi,

I have a home network behind a UTM, we do have several Servers here to though but i just wanted to ask how safe would it be to allow any traffic through from the local network to external networks?

Its just as its a home network there are to many issues with programs not getting through the firewall.

Would traffic still be protected by the IPS & ATP etc if i create an allow any outgoing rule in the firewall?

thanks,

JK

    how safe would it be to allow any traffic through from the local network to external networks
    This is the usual norm for home users and many businesses as well.  The reality is that the only truly "safe" system is one that is turned off, unplugged, and not physically accessible.  Not too useful in that state though.

    Yes it would.
