Hi,

I've seen most people allow all outgoing traffic
originating from the firewall itself... Is this really
recommended?? What if the machine have been
compromised and the intruder have installed a program
that let's him access the machine remotely by having
the program itself to initiate the outgoing connection
to him thus defying the incoming connection firewall
ruleset...

Thanks..
