> Egress traffic is denied by default in isolated networks using the CloudStack virtual router created in CloudStack 4.1.0 and later (see CLOUDSTACK-299).  This information is explained in the Creating Egress Firewall Rules in an Advanced Zone section of the admin guide:
> By default, the egress traffic is blocked, so no outgoing traffic is allowed from a guest network to the Internet. However, you can control the egress traffic in an Advanced zone by creating egress firewall rules. 
> This is very critical information, but unfortunately is easy to miss.  It should be highlighted somehow, such as in a Note.  
> Additionally, it would be useful to explain that during an upgrade from previous versions, egress rules allowing all traffic are created for existing networks to match the previous behavior of allowing all egress traffic.  This is confusing since after an upgrade, all of the existing networks are working the same as before, but newly created networks will not.
