Chapter 4 - Firewall Software

Adding Proxy Applications

Certain software on your LAN may require a TCP or UDP port usage that is not currently

supported by the Firewall. If this is the case, you must refer to the software documentation to

determine the proper port usage and number. Without this information, the Firewall will not allow

packets through to the Internet from the unknown software. Once the necessary information has

been determined, you can add the application(s) to the supported list.

This list includes many of the most common port usages, however, not all are included because

an increase in the number of port usages supported means a

possible

decrease in performance

speed, and an increased security risk.

If you wish to add proxy applications that are not currently supported, click on the Proxy Server

button in the Firewall Setup menu. The Proxy Applications Configuration dialog box appears.

This menu includes a list of all the applications currently supported by the Firewall.

Click Add. The Add/Edit Entry dialog box appears.

This dialog will allow you to choose the desired protocol, and enter a Port Name/Number and

Description. After you have entered these items, click OK to add the port usage to the list of

supported usages.
