I'm thinking along the same lines. By default most routers/gateways allow all outgoing traffic, (eg all outgoing ports are open), while all incoming ports are blocked; unless, a policy rule open a port to inbound traffic. You can block outbound traffic using policy rules filtered on IP address, MAC address, IP ranges, time of day, and many other things depending on the capabilities of your routers firewall options.
