Use separate configurations by network in the Windows 7 firewall
The Windows 7 Firewall allows separate configurations by network. This feature makes it possible to configure different firewall rules for the home network , the networkwork or a public network and Windows will apply these rules automatically when the computer gets connected to a different network. To configure the firewall by network, click on Start > Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Firewall
Then Click on “Allow a program or feature trough Windows Firewall” to get the list of open firewall ports for all configured networks.
If the application that shall be able to connect to a specific network is listed there, then allow access by enabling the checkbox in the column of the network. If the application is not in the list, click on “Allow another program” and then select the program in the list that pops up.
How to set the PassivePortRange in pure-ftpd on Debian and Ubuntu Linux
If you run a firewall on your Linux server and want to use passive FTP connections, you have to define the passive port range in pure-ftpd and your firewall to ensure that the connections dont get blocked. The following example is for pure-ftpd on Debian or Ubuntu Linux and ISPConfig 3:
1) Configure pure-ftpd
echo "40110 40210" > /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/PassivePortRange /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd-mysql restart
2) Configure the firewall. If you use ISPConfig 3 on my server to configure the bastille firewall, you can add the nescessera port range in the ISPConfig firewall settings.
Change the list of Open TCP ports from:
20,21,22,25,53,80,110,143,443,3306,8080,10000
to:
20,21,22,25,53,80,110,143,443,3306,8080,10000,40110:40210
and then click on “Save”.
