Configuring Firewall Rules for Internet Access

  1. Set up a connection between the network object (see Creating a Network Object) and the Internet object (see Creating an Internet Object) that you have just created:
    1. Click the button in the toolbar at the top of the desktop. The desktop objects which can be selected for this connection and possible connections between them are highlighted and marked by dotted circles and lines.
    2. Select the network object as the source object of the connection by clicking the corresponding desktop object.
    3. Select the Internet object as the target object of the connection by clicking the corresponding desktop object.
    You are automatically forwarded to Desktop > Desktop Connections. The Connection editor panel opens. Alternatively, you can click the button in the circular menu of the source object on the desktop and then select the target object.
  2. Set up a firewall rule with HTTP and/or HTTPS, depending on your needs:
    1. The services that you can apply firewall rules to are displayed in the service selection list bar on the right side of the browser window. This list is divided into categories that combines similar services. Into the Filter input field, enter HTTP or HTTPS. As you type in the input field, the web client reduces the list to show only those services and service groups that contain the characters you are typing. To add HTTP and HTTPS from the Internet category, click . The selected services are removed from the service selection list bar and are displayed in the table in the Rules tab.
    2. Click Create.
    3. The Connection dialog closes. The new desktop connection is added to the list of available desktop connections in the item list bar.
