Endian Firewall is a true firewall in the sense that it does both ingress and egress filtering. By default Endian Firewall allows only basic outbound internet communication, such as:
- HTTP
- HTTPS
- FTP
- DNS
- POP3
- SMTP
- IMAP4
To allow other internet based communication out of the Endian Firewall (apart from using the application proxies) you will need to define outgoing firewall rules for other internet based applications. For example to configure an outgoing firewall rule to allow MSN messenger communication for the GREEN Zone:
- Go to Firewall > Outgoing firewall
- Click the Add New Rule button
- Remark: Allow MSN Messenger
- Protocol: TCP
- Policy: ALLOW
- Source Net: GREEN
- Log packets which satisfy this rule: CHECKED (This makes the firewall log connections that match)
- Service: MSN Messenger
- Click the SAVE button
By default Endian Firewall has pre-defined services for the most popular applications. If the application is not in the service list, you can enable the rule by selecting
User Defined for the Service and defining the destination port.
