Port blocking and allowing was created by sallysaile
Hi hope someone can help. Usually on a system i use nat to open certain ports. i then create a new filter rule that blocks all if no further match to those ports. i then create another filter rule that allows a single public IP address through with pass immediately.
this works fine and blocks all traffic except my allowed ip address.
Now i want to allow just 1 port through that anyone can have access to, but when i create a new filter rule allowing anybody to say port 4321 it does not pass that port through.

Now if i mess around with the rule properties of my first filter rule which was to block all traffic , if i try and block only certain ports using the = != < > rules it does not block the ports. Only when i block all does it work.

is there another way around this dilemma?

thanks
