              your rule is saying ANY to port.. Well how is that support to work... Set your dest port on the LEFT side... If you have a rule that is custom from port X to Y then X on left, Y on right, etc.

                It does also clearly state "Specify the destination port or port range for this rule. The "To" field may be left empty if only filtering a single port."

                    The clients would pick a random src port and the dst is fixed, as the servers listen on specific ports for the services.

                      Source port if EVER needed... Which is going to be RARE!!! would be done in the source section under advanced...

                      Source port "almost" always going to be any.
