astaro and games

I just set up my first ASG last night and everything is working great. But I cannot play online games. i play through steam and other web games. What do i need to do to allow them? I have a packet filter rule set that pretty much allows everything to go through but log it. I want to filter everything but allow games to go through so i can play online. Any and all help appreciated.

You'll need to create packet filter rules to allow it to work. As mentioned in the first link, individual games may need additional ports not listed in the second link. You should consult the manufactuers support pages for each game.

Gotta say that I really love the advise of steam to not use a firewall and directly connect your PC to the internet. Somewhere else on their site they probably also recommend to leave the doors and windows where you live open at all times, remove all windows from your car and leave the keys in the ignition, and create a public website listing all of your personal information including all passwords, credit card numbers, and bank accounts.
