I’ve got a question for the STW geek collective.
I’m on an “Orange Livebox” out here in France and the menu system is pretty pants as I’m used to Netgear router styling of port forwarding ect…
There is nothing specific I can see on port forwarding other than firewall rules “low, medium, high and customized” the customized version takes the default high settings and allows you to add rules..
Not bad but it doesn’t appear the rule I am adding works! I’ve got a siemens c475 ip phone that only works on low firewall mode but when its on customised with 5060 port open it doesn’t work… any ideas? and any ideas how I can work out what the “medium firewall” settings are to throw into the customized panel as I don’t think I need high… descriptions below::
Low
The firewall does not filter anything. Be careful, this level is reserved to advanced users to whom security is not a priority. Note also that even in this mode, a connection iniated from Internet will not be permitted if a NAT/PAT rule is not created on purpose.
Medium
The firewall drops all entering connections. This parameter is recommended against certain types of dangerous data travelling over the Internet. Outcoming traffic is allowed except Netbios services.
High
The firewall allows the exit of standard services (www,ftp,mail,news,…) and drops not expected entering connections. This setting is recommended to have a maximal security level.
Warning : incompatible with Unik.
Customized
This profile allows the customization of the high profile describe above. You can also define some additional specific filtering rules. (Reserved to expert users).
