    Since most firewalls deny all traffic by default in theory you should have to
    only creat teh allow rules for those ports.

    But if you want since most firewalls also read from the top down you will need
    to create the allow rules for those ports then at teh bottom you can do a deny
    all rule. There should be a option to deny all traffic I would use that for
    your last rule.

    Quoting Ferino Mardo <RMardo@ALJOMAIHBEV.com>:
