ReadyNAS RN212 backing up to BackBlaze (using Amazon S3 protocol) behind a pfSense firewall

I had been backing up my RN212 to BackBlaze using the Amazon S3 protocol, and everything was working great.

 

But I recently added a pfSense firewall between my RN212 and my ISP router, and now my backups are showing "Other error" on the ReadyNAS Cloud Admin Page.

 

If I take out the pfSense firewall, then the backups start working again.

 

Do I need to add a specific Firewall Rule to allow my RN212 to backup to BackBlaze / Amazon S3?

 

Thanks in advance.

Sure looks like it.

 

I don't use this protocol, but a quick google shows that S3 uses ports 80 and 443.  Those would normally be open in most firewalls since they are used for normal http/https browsing.
