Setting firewall rules in F secure Client security 9.32

danny

I have been trying to create a firewall rule which allows an auditing program on to the network if I turn off the clients firewall it works perfect if I then bring the firewall back up I then lose connectivity I have successfully managed to open ports in the windows firewall by using the command
"netsh firewall set service RemoteAdmin enable"
"netsh firewall add portopening protocol=tcp port=135 name=DCOM_TCP135"

which is great but I now need to do the same on the f secure firewall someone please help before I pull what's left of my hair out?????????

Hi Danny,

Please try the steps below.

1. Create a service manually.
- Open F-Secure,  click "Setting" > "Network Connection" > "Firewall".
- Under "Services" tab, click on "Add..."
- Assign a name to your new service "DCOM_TCP135", select "TCP(6)" as protocol type. Add "port 135" for "Initiator ports" and "Responder ports".
- Click "OK"

2. Create the firewall rule.
- Open F-Secure,  click "Setting" > "Network Connection" > "Firewall".
- Click the Rules tab, click "Add".
- Enter a name and select the rule type:
  *Enter a name for the rule: Any preferred name.
  *Select the rule type: "Allow"
- Click "Next"
- Select the IP addresses: "Any IPv4 address", click "Next".
- Select the services and direction:
  *Select the service
          * "DCOM_TCP135"
          * Select the direction
- Click "Next"
- Select the alerting type: "No alert", click "Next".
- Check the summary of the rule and click "Finish". Your new rule is now shown on the rules list on the Rules tab, and it is automatically turned on.
- Click "Ok" to save all changes and exit.

Thanks.
