Step 5: Connect the DMZ Airwall Gateway to the Internet

To connect the DMZ Airwall Gateway to the Internet, you set up the local device and Overlay.

  1. On the DMZ Airwall Gateway, in Local Devices, click Add Device, and add the Local Device 0.0.0.0/0.
  2. Create an overlay called Internet Access (or similar name, so you know what permissions it implies).
  3. Add the Local Device 0.0.0.0/0 and all devices that require Internet access.
    Note: As a best practice, configure overlays to limit connectivity to only those devices and servers that must communicate with each other.
  4. Create trust from all other members of the Internet Access overlay to only to the 0.0.0.0/0 device (a Hub and Spoke arrangement, not a mesh).
