Hi there, Internet wan be understood here as the configuration of what happens after going out of the firewall. Of course, you can configure it to use your own intranet settings and reconfigure everything afterwards. The wan zone will be your intranet as you are isolated a network part behind the firewall. The default policies are all to REJECT as default and lots of traffic are allowed from lan to wan.
