Adding an incoming service with another type of
protocol

In addition to TCP and UDP, there are several other types of
Internet protocols. To allow incoming service to these protocols,
you must define both the protocol type and the internal
destination. You cannot specify a port number. To allow an
incoming service:

1

Using your Web browser, go to http://192.168.111.1.

2

Select Services.

The Services menu appears.

3

Click Allowed Incoming Services. Click Add a Service.

The Add New Incoming Services menu appears.

4

Click Add Other Service.

The New Protocol Forward configuration page appears.

5

Enter the protocol name used to forward packets.

WatchGuard uses ICSA standards for protocol names.

6

Enter the private network IP address of the computer hosting
this service.

7

Enter a name for the service.

Click Submit.

The configuration change is saved to the SOHO, and the Show Incoming

Rules page appears.

Adding the Any service

In addition to specific protocols and ports, you can elect to send
unidentified packets to a single server on your private network.
This enables you to open a hole in your firewall for services you
would be unable to define using the standard service menus.
