I feel like an idiot asking this becasue its likely very obvious, but how do I make a single rule include non-sequential ports?
For example application X needs to to use ports 5000-50010, 5500, and 3227.
The note in the user manual on 5.2.4 reads:
When you want to open more than one port to a system, for example HTTP and HTTPS, do not use a port range from HTTP to HTTPS. This will work, but it also opens up 361 ports that you don't need opened between TCP 80 and 443. If you need to open two non-sequential ports to a system, you need to put in two Inbound NAT entries.
Which would suggest you cannot do this, but I cant imagine how this would be SOHO or Ent friendly.
If I cannot do it with the vanialla install is there a 3rd party fix?
One NAT rule that forwards ports 5000, to 50010 (because that gets 5500 in between), then another rule for just 3227.
You are right, should be simple, but you'll need two rules to cover this as one will not do it because of the gap unless you want to forward 3227 to 50010 and not worry about the other thousand ports being forwarded in between.
