Here is the down and dirty on inbound-outbound thinking: Orignal packet from internet coming to internal network: Packet --> FW external-nic (inbound inspection) ------ Packet --> FW internal-nic (outbound inspection) Originating packet from internal network: Packet --> FW-internal-nic (inbound inspection) ------ Packet --> FW external-nic (outbound inspection) Kind of confusing but I hope this clears it up for you. Normally inbound will suffice unless you have some ultra important reason why you'd need to inspect packets at both locations (inbound--outbound).
