Newbie Question

Right2Bear
I'm new to Astaro so bear with me.

I have an application, in this case it is an online poker game, but it could be any app.  It doesn't start with the default rules in Astaro.  Even if I turn off the web proxy, it still doesn't start up.

Is there an easy way I can look to see what exactly is being blocked and what I need to open up?  The web site doesn't give detailed information on which ports need to be opened.

For the heck of it, I create a  " any -> any" rule and things work.  I would expect they would, but what exactly have I don't by doing that?  Have I entirely disabled the firewall?  I still pass 'stealth mode' via grc.com and the AV protection seems to work.  How much have I exposed myself by creating that 'any->any' rule.

Thanks.

    You can enable all outgoing traffic with "Internal -> any allow". That would not allow any incoming traffic, but still allow all outgoing traffic.


    But don't do that for security reasons.

    Open the ports you have to, but no more.

    Well, you wouldn't leave it like that, but for testing purposes, it's better than any-->any allow.
