Line 1: Line 1:
'''Default allow''' is a type of [[firewall]] ruleset in which the default condition of the firewall is to allow ALL connectivity - from anywhere, to anywhere.  A '''default allow''' firewall with no additional rules loaded is effectively the same thing as no firewall at all.
 
  
Default allow firewalls are not recommended, because there is a [[race condition]] problem - a window of time in between a reset of the firewall to default rules and the re-loading of the extra rules to restrict access in which "anything goes."  See [[Default deny]].
