Chapter 12: Configuring Intranet Settings
Network > Intranet
The SonicWALL security appliance can be configured as an Intranet firewall to prevent network users
from accessing sensitive servers. By default, users on your LAN can access the Internet router, but
not devices connected to the WAN port of the SonicWALL security appliance. To enable access to the
area between the SonicWALL security appliance WAN port and the Internet, you must configure the
Intranet settings on the SonicWALL security appliance on the Network > Intranet page.
Intranet firewalling is achieved by connecting the SonicWALL security appliance between an
unprotected and a protected segment, as shown below.
