"Many to one" outbound port rule
-
I noticed in my firewall logs that my computer keeps rotating outbound ports with the intent to connect on the other side with 443.
I have been doing some research, but I suspect I do not know what the search term is I need to identify the solution. The all mighty google has failed to interpret what I need to a workable solution.
I believe i'm looking to do a "many to one" outbound firewall rule.
I believe the many should be any higher range port and map it to 443.
Could this be outbound port forwarding?? Not sure if that is even a thing.
I would think I could proxy that port somehow. I feel i'm over complicating it.I tried a rule to allow 443 to a specific ip, but it seems to be blocking since i'm not talking outbound on 443.
I tried to write rules for these random ports, but it seems to pick a different one on every attempt to make the connection (dynamic port selection).Could someone please help me by pointing me to documentation to continue my research.
Please and thank you. -
What is the end goal here?
This sounds like the way things are supposed to work.Source devices pick a random port for each outbound connection it wants to initiate.
If I have x3 tabs open in my web brower (gmail.com, bank.com, and movie.com) my device will choose x3 random ports that look something like this:
192.168.1.11:23456 --> gmail.com:443
192.168.1.11:34567 --> bank.com:443
192.168.1.11:45678--> movie.com:443
