I want to close port 443 to inbound traffic
I would like to to close port 443 to INBOUND and leave it open for outbound. How do I do this? I should say, I'm really unfamiliar with this, but I can log into my firewall configuration. I just don't know where to look for configuring this port. So please give me very basic instructions. Thank you!!!
Hi Sorts,
Welcome to our community!
For disabling the port 443, follow the instructions below:
- Login to firewall
- Go to Administration > Remote Management > Allow Secure HTTP management - NO
- Apply
- then check using a port scanner if it still open
- If still open, then look for the HTTPS service under inbound rules and delete it.
For enabling it on the outbound service:
- Go to Security > Firewall > LAN WAN Rules > Outbound Services > +Add
- Service : HTTPS
- Action : Allow always
- Specify the LAN and WAN users or leave it by default
- Then apply
