How do I create a custom firewall rule (service) for F-Secure Server Security 14.x? - F-Secure Community

I have F-Secure Server Security 14.x installed in my servers, how can I create custom firewall rules?

You can follow the steps below to create a custom firewall using Policy Manager Console:

Open the Policy Manager Console and go to the Settings-tab
Go to Firewall, using Standard view (changeable in the upper right corner)
Make sure the 14.X clients-tab is selected
Select the profile you want to edit from the Profile being edited-dropdown menu (if the list only contains the default profiles, clone the one you want to use as a base as the defaults can't be modified)
Click Add rule on the right of the firewall rules list and create the rule as needed (see step 6 if the service required is missing)
If the service you want to add is missing, click on Configure network services below the firewall rule list. Click Add and follow the steps to add a new firewall service
Check the Enabled-checkbox to the left of the rule name to make sure that it is in use
Distribute the new policy by clicking the symbol in the upper left corner of the interface, or by pressing Ctrl+D

If you wish to create the firewall rules locally in the host, follow these steps:

Open F-Secure Server Security
Click on Tools
Click on Firewall settings
Click on the Change Windows Firewall settings...-link to be brought to the Windows firewall settings
