Title: Inbound, outbound, or eitherbound?
Unless you need the packet inspected both upon entering and leaving the firewall, leave it to eitherbound.
 
Setting to eitherbound effectively doubles the processing your firewall has to do.

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?
