Title: Inbound, outbound, or eitherbound?
Padden,
 
Eitherbound makes the packets to be inspected when the arrive to the interface and when they're leaving the gateway.
 
Inbound makes the inspection when the packet arrives to the interface, no matter if it is coming from internal network to an external one.
 
CCSA material for v4.1 rev. A has a terrific example, in which Eitherbound could be used if you have 'an untrusted administrator' that may rely on the firewall machine itself to browse the internet, but I think it sucks! Would you have an untrusted admin with physical and logical access to the FW machine? I don't think so! :)

So what are other people using for this Property for applying the ruleset to the firewall's interfaces?

I was using Eitherbound, but was told that changing this to Inbound would gain me some performance.

Does anybody know any drawback to changing to Inbound?
