Hi guys. I have just fallen over an interesting (I think) issue with firewalls in general that I'm hoping you can give me some ideas about.
I'm trying to access an online tax return service provided by the Australian Tax Office. They're using some sort of SSL protocol for security. They won't tell me what ports it requires open because they say that impacts on their security. I have found a list of SSL ports required for various protocols (ie ftp ssl, http ssl etc) but I'm not sure which protocols the Tax Office is using and there's no guarantee they've used standard ports anyway. Anyone have any ideas how to get a round this? If I booted my Bering as a router only (ie not firewall) would that help? I think I can select that option from the Network configuration file? If that's not an option, I would like to have a play with allowing net to loc on all the ports I can find that look like they might have an SSL association. Do I just add an: ACCEPT net loc tcp 443 ACCEPT net loc tcp 990 etc or do I need to DNAT each port to the to the particular loc IP? Whatever I do I wouldn't keep it as a permanent thing. Thanks for your thoughts.
