Most of your SOHO level firewalls from Netscreen, Sonicwall can do such. You
need a device that will start with a default block all rule for outbound and
then you can define the authorized exceptions. I have found that some of the
devices from Dlink, Netgear, etc may be able to do much of the same but be
sure that you read the online documentation for the devices first to make
sure they meet your needs. The Netscreen, Sonicwall devices are usually
limited to the amount of computers on your network that can access the
internet at the same time with base models starting with 10 or 25
connections though unlimited models are also available for more money. A lot
depends on your budget. Ebay has great buys on firewalls if you don't mind
an older model. The link below is for an Ebay search of Sonicwall. ---
