This policy controls access to the Firebox on these four TCP ports: 4103, 4105, 4117,4118. When you allow connections in the WatchGuard policy, you allow connections to each of thesefour ports.Before you change a policy to allow connections to the Firebox from a computer external to your network,it is a good idea to consider:• The use of user authentication to restrict connections to the Firebox.78 WatchGuard System Manager
