Configure TCP or UDP port settings. Port numbers are used by TCP or UDP to identify sending and receiving applications. Some common ports include HTTP (80), TELNET (23) and SMTP (25).

| Rule Order |
The rules by default are sorted by the Rule Order column, which is both the order that the rules have been added and the order that they will be applied. Executing the rules in the order of their creation allows you to add overlapping rules that provide one action for a more generic range of IP addresses or domain names, while having a different action for a more specific IP or domain. For example, if you first create an 'IP Address' table rule to allow address 10.1.1.2 and mask 255.255.255.255, and then create a rule to deny address 10.1.1.0 and mask 255.255.255.0, then the 'IP Address' table will allow traffic to 10.1.1.2 but will block other IP address beginning with 10.1.1.x. Traffic to 10.1.1.2 will not be blocked by the second rule of this table because the first rule already matches it. You can similarly set up the 'Domain Name' table to block a generic domain suffix (like example.com) but allow specific domain names (foo.example.com).

| Inbound action |
Specifies inbound action for network connection. The ignore action is useful when you want a 'UDP/TCP Port' rule to apply in only one direction. For example, setting a rule for HTTP (Web) port 80 to deny inbound and ignore outbound will always block Web connections in the inbound direction, but will let a more generic matching rule or the default action determine the action for outbound Web connections.
|
|---|
| Outbound action |
Specifies outbound action for network connection. The ignore action is useful when you want a 'UDP/TCP Port' rule to apply in only one direction. For example, setting a rule for HTTP (Web) port 80 to deny inbound and ignore outbound will always block Web connections in the inbound direction, but will let a more generic matching rule or the default action determine the action for outbound Web connections.
