Bottom

There are preset rules for the following storage applications:

Storage

i-drive storage server

Protocol: TCP
Direction: Outbound
Remote Port(s): HTTPS (443)
Action: Allow It

What it's for

This rule is used whenever yto your i-drive storage from File Planet. This rule is used for secure web page connections (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer (SSL)), HTTPS is used when you visit pages that need a password (such as Hotmail) or online shopping sites. You can tell when ever the page your looking at is secure by looking for the little padlock symbol which will be displayed somewhere in your browser. Unlike HTTP, HTTPS encrypts the data that is sent and received.

To optimize

Add an Event for 'Remote Host' and specify the 'Remote Host' as server you contact to connect to your server.
