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!!!
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
