The catch is that if you have a firewall, you presumably want sone packets
getting through.  If not, there would be no need to have an internet
connection at all.  Remember that most firewalls are more interested in
blocking incomming traffic rather than outgoing.  Some of the smarter
firewalls can be configured to stop or allow almost whatever you want.  The
simpler ones are less flexable.
