E-Commerce

Bottom

There are preset rules for the following e-mail clients:

Cyphermint PayCash
WebMoney

Glossary Bottom Top

Cyphermint PayCash connection

Protocol: TCP
Direction: Outbound
Remote Port(s): 8128
Action: Allow It

What it's for

This rule is used by your e-commerce application when it browses the Internet. HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) is the only port you really need for browsing the Internet, ports 81, 82, 83 are auxiliary web browsing ports and are rarely used. HTTPS (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer (SSL)) is used when connecting to secure sites. SOCKS is only needed by people using a SOCKS proxy server. 3128, 8080, and 8088 are common ports that proxy servers use. If your e-commerce application needs to use a proxy server for HTTP connections then it will probably be on one of these ports. 11523 is used by AOL's browser.

To optimize

Remove the remote ports: 81, 82, 83 unless you know that you need them. If you don't use a SOCKS proxy server remove SOCKS. If you don't use a remote or local proxy remove 3128, 8080 and 8088. If you don't use AOL's browser remove 11523.
