Port Question.

Hello Jason Yu,

You can add those ports as "Services" in System > Host and Services > Services tab.

You will see those "services" when you create the rules, add it and allow the traffic for the correct subnet.

Thanks John for the quick reply.  I already created the Services.

Could you guide me in creating the Rule?  Doesn't seem to work when I try.

I don't know your infrastructure but I can give you and example.

In case you don't know if you need TCP or UDP for the services just add both of them for each port.

Source port is always random so you have to use "*".

Now, I'm creating a network rule from LAN to WAN, let me know if this is not what you want to accomplish.

I'm using "Temp" for some private IPs in my LAN.

Remember to uncheck the "Match known users" if it's not needed.

Also, remember that the position of the rule is very important.

With this rule your machines will be able to reach the remote servers with the required ports.

Oh, I may misunderstood your query.

You need to open those ports for remote access to your network assets?

I think you need a business rule then https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/122976

In the Destination and Service section you have to set the public IP and the Services you want to allow and in the Forward To choose the local machine.

You can try using the network rule but switch the Source and Destination zone, instead of LAN to WAN, set it to WAN to LAN.

I don't think its to a specific local machine, they just told me to open ports 5672, 5673 on the Firewall let me try to ask them again.  I tried to do the WAN -> LAN Rule, but it's still a no go.

Hi,

who initiates the traffic? If on your lan then make sure you have the rule at the top of the list.

Not sure.  Our software vendor just stated that those 2 ports needed to be open on the Firewall =/.  I did an Any to Any rule and put it on top of the list just for testing.  When I go to Canyouseeme.org it still says that the Ports are Closed.  I guess I need to hear back from the Software Vendor to see what's going on.
