Firewall is blocking iPad internet access

Hello,
my iPad is connected to the internet via WiFi and a DSL-Router/Modem with a build-in firewall. Unfortunately, some of the applications on the iPad have problems going through the firewall, e.g. Facetime, all of my configured EMail-Accounts or Find-My-iPad. If I turn off the firewall in the router everything works fine. Of course I don't want to to turn off the firewall. I assume the problem is, that I have to allow these services/ports to pass through the firewall. Is there any way to find out what ports these services are using, so that I can open them in the firewall?
Best regards
Alexander

Email ports should be findable from the provider.
Try google for the others.

After an update to firefox I keep getting a warning from my Firewall (McAfee) "Program wants internet access". I have permission set at outgoing for firefox and updates checking off, to check that request is valid so what does it need access for

After an update to firefox I keep getting a warning from my Firewall (McAfee) "Program wants internet access". I have permission set at outgoing for firefox and updates checking off, to check that request is valid so what does it need access for

This was not a Firefox update, but a piece of malicious software you have inadvertently downloaded from a site called http://ffftp.co.cc/ which is impersonating Firefox. I discovered this as soon as my Zonealarm requested permission for "Golds" to access the internet. Golds??!! However I couldn't find a file with this name installed on my computer.
You should delete the file you downloaded and certainly do not allow internet access to any suspicious program. If you have already given permission, scan your PC immediately for any virus, malware, etc. Best of luck.

EA6100 AC1200 Blocking Guest internet access during specific times?

I see that you can disable guest internet access for specific times but only for specific devices. What I want to do is turn off Guest access for all devices during specific times.
I am using this in an environment where I will have different guests at different times with different devices and can't go in to block each one each time.

I think your only option at this time is to manually disable the Guest Wireless network when wanted.
Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

IPad Internet access when WiFi and Cellular features are disabled

Local security policies require me to disable all wireless communications on devices operating within specific “Controlled Access” areas. Is there a specific lightning (cable) adapter I could use to connect an iPad device to a hardwired Ethernet cable (CAT-5 or 6) to facilitate wired internet communications in this situation? Alternately, can I use a standard Lightning-to-USB cable connected to a MacIntosh computer and somehow configure the MacIntosh to act as a router-like device for internet communications between the iPad and other intranet or internet endpoints that the MacIntosh is also able to interact with? Basically, I need to establish internet connectivity to/from the iPad without the use of wireless communications options, and I'm interested in the options I could pursue.

Thanks for the YouTube links bobseufert.
I'm going to try this approach out myself (just to verify that it works), but I'm really hoping that another - less encumbered, approach can be found for my end-goal. The larger-scale view of my need includes connecting multiple iPads (one per workstation area) to a local intranet. Since I can't use a WiFi or any other wireless communications solution for this installation, I might need a collection of adapter cables and powered USB hubs if I choose to implement the options detailed in these two videos on a large scale. Sure, that's all possible, but what I'm really hoping to find somewhere is an RJ-45 configured Ethernet-to-Lightning Adapter that will work with iOS devices.
From one perspective I can see why this type of adapter has not been built yet. However when you think about the wired adapter options that are available to connect the iPad/iPhone to a remote display (or overhead projector) - there is at least three different versions available through Apple, even through Apple sells wireless video display capabilities (I own two Apple TV devices myself), you wouldn't think that a wired network option for these mobile devices would be something out of the question...
BTW, I noted that Redpark (www.redpark.com) has some serial (RS-232) adapters for the older 30-pin iPads/iPhones and for the newer Lightning equipped iPads/iPhones that Apple has signed-off on. Redpark also has an RJ-45 to Lighting Adapter, but this particular implementation is built (i.e., wired) for the CISCO Console port, which is not compatible with your typical CAT-5 / CAT-6 wiring configuration.
If anyone else finds a Lightning Adapter providing both Ethernet-based Data (via an RJ-45 connector) and Power to keep the iPad devices charged (24/7) I would really like to hear about it... Thanks for your continued support!

Ipad Internet access in Africa

I will be in Tanzania for 3 weeks in February. Is there a way of connecting to the Internet when not in hotels with wifi or similar places. Tanzania has excellent cellular coverage. I'm thinking Mifi & dongles??? Any cheap ideas welcomed
Thanks

Check with local providers to see if they support iPad data plans. If so, get a local sim and insert it into your iPad, assuming you have a 3G capable ipad. If you only have a wifi iPad, check with a local provider for mifi plans. No dongles are involved.

Blocking Wired Internet Access

Just bought an Airport Time Capsule (to replace a default ISP router), both to try and improve wireless signal and use the disk for backup. But a little surprised that the setting options seem to be less comprehensive than before. For example I gather you cannot monitor what devices are connecting to your network without a third party utility, is that right?
Also I've worked out how to limit wireless access for the kids through time settings, but I presume you cannot restrict a wired ethernet connection. Is that correct also?
Many thanks,
Peter

For example I gather you cannot monitor what devices are connecting to your network without a third party utility, is that right?
Open AirPort Utility
Hold down the option key on your Mac while you double click on the Time Capsule icon
A list of currently connected wireless devices will appear. You might see the name of the device, the IP address that has been assigned to that device, or the MAC Address of the device.
I presume you cannot restrict a wired ethernet connection. Is that correct also?
Correct. It was also not possible to restrict a wired connection using the older versions of AirPort Utility as well.

Block internet access by MAC address all the time

I want to be able to block MAC addresses from accessing the internet but allow them to use the network.
I can do this in other router interfaces but the BT Home Hub 2.0 has a VERY un user friendly interface and will not allow advanced internet access or other settings to be modifyed to suit my needs.
I am at an intermediate level at understanding network equipment and an expert at residential networking.

Not sure about the home hub 2, but on the home hub 1 you can use a "user defined" firewall setting to block access to a computer by specifying its IP address.
Source LAN
Interface 192.168.1.xxx (address you wish to block)
Destination WAN
Service ANY
Action Deny
You can tell the home hub to always use this IP address for the device you are trying to block.
There is probably a similar setting on the home hub 2.
By default I block all Internet access for devices, then I have rules to allow HTTP, HTTPS, POP3 and a couple of others.
I also have UpnP disabled.
This prevents any computer on the network accessing any non-standard ports.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

How to block internet access for RDS and RemoteApp users?

Hi everyone,
This question might partially belong to security forum but I think anyone using RDS services comes across this. I would like to TOTALLY block all internet access including "updates" to any software, windows updates, anti-virus updates, TCP, UDP,
or ANY other protocol out of the server. I would like to only allow traffic both ways for established traffic (e.g. accessing the remote apps).
How can I achieve this without involving a third party firewall software?
Thanks

In our visitor center, we setup a computer with fake proxy server and add our website to the exception so that the visitors access our website only and no other website. If this RDS is for internal use only, you may disable default gateway. This link may
give you more options.

Safari 4 blocking internet access

When I try to access an URL that's wrong or doesn't exist Safari will block the internet access for my whole computer, Spotify, all other browsers, Mail etc.. stops getting access to the internet. Only solution is to restart Safari, and the internet access will pick up again immediately. Does this happen to anyone else out there as well?

Hi, Juke.
I'm afraid I'm a dummy, and don't know how to do this. I'm sure as April 8 approaches, a lot of people with important DOS or XP apps will be wanting to insulate their XP VM from potential hacking while still running programs locally.

WRT54GS Blocking Internet Access

Hi,
I have a WRT54GS router that constantly blocks the internet access. Any computer (Mac or PC) is able to access the wireless network, however, no internet signal is passed through the router. I know the internet signal works because you can connect directly to the cabel modem and the internet works fine. When the router is connected to the modem the internet light on the front of the router blinks (as if there were data being transmitted), but still no internet access availabe.
I have tried unplugging and fully restarting both the modem and the router in every order and combination possible with no success. The only way I can solve this problem is to leave both the modem and the router unplugged for 24 hours and then plug them both back in. This problem/blockage only seems to occur when the router has been inactive for 2 or more days (when I leave out of town or something).
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Jordan

Start with restting your router...
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

WRVS4400N2 IP based ACL and Firewall not blocking WAN

I'm trying to block all Internet access (except for 2 IPs) to my Windows Home Server 2011. I've tried blocking with IP based ACL on my WRVS4400N2 (bridged through a Ubee cable modem) without luck. Tried creating a Connection Security Rule with the server firewall...without luck. The following ports are forwarded in the router (7, 9, 80, 443, 3389, 4125).
The latest IP based ACL settings I've used (enabled, listed by priority):
ACTION -- SERVICE -- SOURCE -- SOURCE IP -- DESTINATION -- TIME -- DAY
Allow -- All Protocal -- WAN -- XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX -- Any -- Any Time -- Any Day
Allow -- All Protocal -- WAN -- YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY -- Any -- Any Time -- Any Day
Deny -- All Protocal -- WAN -- Any -- Any -- Any Time -- Any Day
How can I block access from the Internet?

Hi,
Thank you for replying. However I have already tried as you have suggested and it is still not working.
My Single Port Forwarding looks like this:
Application: SMTP External Port: 25 Internal Port: 25 Protocol: TCP IP Address: 192.168.xxx.xxx Enabled: Yes
My rules in IP Based ACL look like this (columns from left to right):
1 YES Allow SMTP WAN 203.xxx.xxx.xxx 192.168.xxx.xxx Any Time Every Day
2 YES Deny SMTP WAN ANY ANY Any Time Every Day
My goal is to only allow 203.xxx.xxx.xxx to have access to port 25 on 192.168.xxx.xxx. However, even with the rules above enabled, all external hosts have access to port 25 on 192.168.xxx.xxx.

Does ADFS server require Internet access?

Hello,
I have two Adfs 3.0 server in intranet and two adfs proxy in DMZ. For the firewall setting in two adfs 3.0 server, I set the default outbound connection as block and create a custom outbound rules allow the connection to intranet.
When I add new relying party, ADFS can not verify the certification of the RP. The certificate of the relying party is wildcase cert and issued by DigiCert. I have already install the root CA cert in trusted root certification authorities of two ADFS server.
But ADFS still can not recognize the certification path. After I change the default outbound connection as allow in firewall setting, ADFS can verify the certificate. I continues the process and close internet access after user can successful login.
A few days later, user can not login. The following error log exit in ADFS log:
Event ID 317:
An error occurred during an attempt to build the certificate chain for the relying party trust 'https://xxxx.xxxx.xxx.xx' certificate identified by thumbprint 'xxxxxxxxx'. Possible causes are that the certificate has been revoked, the certificate chain could
not be verified as specified by the relying party trust's encryption certificate revocation settings or certificate is not within its validity period.
You can use Windows PowerShell commands for AD FS to configure the revocation settings for the relying party encryption certificate.
Relying party trust's encryption certificate revocation settings: CheckChainExcludeRoot
The following errors occurred while building the certificate chain:
The revocation function was unable to check revocation for the certificate.
The revocation function was unable to check revocation because the revocation server was offline.
User Action:
Ensure that the relying party trust's encryption certificate is valid and has not been revoked.
Ensure that AD FS can access the certificate revocation list if the revocation setting does not specify "none" or a "cache only" setting.
Verify your proxy server setting. For more information about how to verify your proxy server setting, see the AD FS Troubleshooting Guide (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=182180).
I reopen the firewall in outbound rule. then everything run as normal, user can login again.
Does ADFS require internet access for certification path checking? If I really want to block the internet access, which port I need to open in order to allow ADFS check the certificate?
Thank you very much.

You can run
Set-AdfsClaimsProviderTrust -TargetName "<IDP name>" -SigningCertificateRevocationCheck None
and see if this fixes the problem (link from the event log will tell you the same thing), As Bart describes in his topic: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/47345c69-7b68-4f09-907e-43ed2805cac0/adfs-30-signing-certificate-crl-check-with-http-proxy-to-the-internet?forum=Geneva

Firewall Config - Block access to the internet

What command would I use to block all internal access from a LAN, from reaching the internet?
Thanks

Hi
Well there are a number of ways to do it. One way -
local LAN 192.168.1.0/24
remote LAN 172.16.5.0/24
access-list acl_inside permit ip 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 172.16.5.0 255.255.255.0
access-list acl_inside deny ip 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 any
access-group acl_inside in interface inside
Couple of things to be aware of.
1) There is an explicit deny at the end of the access-list so if you have other networks you want to allow access to/from you need to include them in your access-list.
2) I'm assuming this is a pix firewall - is this the case ?

Adobe CS6 installation is very slow if internet access is blocked

Hi,
I noticed that our Adobe CS6 installations (using an AAMEE package) were surprisingly slow (as in five hours on a fast machine). I've worked out the cause of the problem, and am posting it here in the hope that it will help someone else experiencing the same issue - also, if anyone from Adobe is reading this, it would be nice to get it fixed, at least for future releases. :-)
The problem is that our machines don't have direct access to web sites on the internet, i.e., port 80 traffic is blocked by the external firewall. I discovered that the CS6 installer was repeatedly attempting to contact various web sites, including crl.verisign.net, presumably in order to validate digital certificates on files in the install package. Each such attempt had to time out before the next was made. Configuring Windows Firewall to block these attempts reduced the install time from five hours to thirty minutes.
On Windows 7, this command can be used to install a firewall rule that will block outgoing port 80 traffic:
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="block www" dir=out action=block protocol=tcp remoteport=80
Once installation is finished, this command will remove the rule:
netsh advfirewall firewall delete rule name="block www"

For later versions (Adobe CC and onwards) you need to block port 443 as well as port 80.

HT201210 When I try to do a software upgrade from 4 to 6 on my ipad I get a Network error message. i have full internet access. Any ideas?

I am trying to upgrade my ipad ios 4 to IOS 6 or above. I get a network error code saying the ipad upgrade server cannot be contacted. I do have full internet access on a high speed connection. Any suggestions?

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and antivirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 7.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
How to Upgrade to iOS 7
The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
Go into the iPad's Settings.
Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
Now you are ready to begin the process:
If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
 Cheers, Tom
