      Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this. Seems that I have had a lot of questions lately and everyone here has been very helpful so I am hoping that someone can point me in the right direction on this.

      I am trying to allow Google Apps Gmail ports for IMAP through the firewall (587 & 993)

      I now have Squid running in proxy mode and each machine connecting to the proxy address and port and I have turned off the default LAN net to all. I have internet access and installed Dansgaurdian and correctly configured that and I am now blocking and have access to internet.

      My question is how do I set up the firewall rule to allow these ports. This is what I have tried to no avail.

      Action - pass
      Interface - LAN
      Protocol -TCP (& I have tried TCP/UDP)
      Source - any
      Destination - any
      Destination port range - 587 (I made an exact duplicate of this rule except I used 993)

      When I use these rules I do not get through but if I disable these rules and enable the default LAN net to all I can get through. Can someone please tell me where I am going wrong? I could leave the default LAN to all running and block all the other ports but that seems like a long list as I am only using a few ports.

      Thank you,
      K

        A fresh set of eyes helped with this.

        I had to open up port 25

        Action - pass
        Interface - LAN Subnet (Changed from any)
        Protocol -TCP/UDP
        Source - any
        Destination - any
        Destination port range - 25

        Hope this helps other noobs ;)
