ServerRookie Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I almost fell off my chair discovering that out of the box the firewall is completely open Anyway, how do I first completely shut off the firewall, then allow web, email, etc and only those to pass inbound/outbound? Sorry, non-IT guy here, patience please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmwills Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 The basic rule is deny all, allow by exception. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ServerRookie Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Thanks jmwills, it will take me some time to set up my firewall rules. Lucky me, I am experimenting behind a router. FWIW, I have just discovered that I could have been doing the same riskfree experiments using the Sophos UTM trick at http://fastvue.co/sophos/blog/easily-evaluate-sophos-utm-using-full-transparent-mode/ I'm vacillating, LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
