To add a host name or IP address for the rule, click the link in the table under Addresses and type the new name or address. The wildcard setting for all IP addresses is 0.0.0.0/0.

To change the protocol used for this rule, select the new protocol you want from the Protocol drop‐down list. Select Custom if you want to allow or block communication for a specific protocol. The protocols are defined by their protocol numbers, which range from 0 through 255. The number is in the packet. If that number matches the number supplied in the Custom field, the packet is allowed or blocked as specified by the rule. Type the protocol’s number in the Protocol number box. You can find the protocol number with the protocol’s RFC at http://www.ietf.org/rfc.html for protocol numbers. You can also see a listing of protocols and their numbers at http://www.iana.org/assignments/protocol‐numbers.
NOTE The protocol number is used in the protocol field of IPv4 packets. Most protocol numbers are permanently assigned. 9
If you are using either TCP or UDP and want to qualify the rule with specific port numbers for this type of traffic, type the port numbers or port‐number ranges in the Remote Ports and Local Ports boxes as appropriate. The wildcard port setting is ʺʺ (double quotation marks).
