4) Scroll to IPV4 port settings, then in TCP_IN, TCP_OUT set the ports you want to allow in and outbound
5) Enter the relevant ports you need opening in the TCP_IN/TCP_OUT/UDP_IN/UDP_OUTS field (remove port(s) if you want to block!)
6) Scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Change" then on the following page "Restart csf+ldf"
That's it, time to test! :)
