Firewall witch ports

I have just installed the SRX5308 in my network, and i am wondering if i need to allow any firewall-rules?

We uses facebook, youtube, google etc. Is there any ports thats needs to be opened before we start using it? Or is "usual" internet-usage allowed per default?

Model: SRX5308|PROSAFE Gigabit Quad WAN SSL & IPSEC VPN Firewall

Hello Blackbox25, 

 

Welcome to the community! 

 

There is no need to open any ports upon installation. These sites can automatically pass through your router. You will only need to open the ports if there is a specific service that needs to be accessed from the internet to your network. Let us know if you have more questions. 

 

Thanks,
