Public Server Guide

The Public Server Guide lets you quickly configure the firewall to provide public access to an internal server.

You can select any of these server types:

• Web Server
• FTP Server
• Mail Server
• Terminal Services Server

• Other

  If you select Other, you can select from a long list of service types or select Create new Service.

The wizard provides the well-known port(s) for known services and asks for other options required for configuration of the server. If necessary, SonicOS creates objects, such as a network object bound to the WAN zone for the non-default IP address of a public server.
