Ok, if there is outbound request (browsing a website for example) that
will go through, but inbound attempt to browse my IP on port 80 would
be blocked, ssh traffic would be allowed (on a non-standard port is
best right?) both inbound and outbound, DNS requests would be allowed
through. So outbound traffic good and allowed, but only certain
inbound traffic allowed. I thought there is way to allow all outbound
traffic and block all inbound traffic that did not first originate
from my machine's IP?

Thanks Ted.
