I’m hosting ventrilo and cs servers to my friends. I’ve made a rule for both in application monitor , and allowed all activities. Still, they cant join my servers without me shutting down my firewall, why?
Log says this:
Description: Inbound Policy Violation (Access Denied, IP = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, Port = 3784)
Protocol: TCP Incoming
Source: my friends ip
Destination: my ip
TCP Flags: Syn
Reason: Network Control Rule ID = 7 ← that’s the only 1 marked as red ball.
Thats what i get when some1 tries to connect ventrilo server. Do i really have to open ports for every single program i use, to get others from outside get pass my firewall?
It is hitting CFPs final block & log rule… this rule stops unsolicited connection attempts… which CFP thinks they currently are. You need to add a rule (or 2… not sure what Ventrilo/CS Servers needs) to the Network Monitor (placed above the final block & log rule) that allows access from all IPs/hosts… or maybe selected IPs/hosts to restrict it further… with the Destination port of whatever it is… not 3784, I think that maybe the source.
