FAQ

Why is some web/e-mail traffic rejected, even though I opened for all such traffic?

Problem description

Look for this kind of sequence in the log (shown with Show newest on top):

The significant sequence is an accepted S flag followed by rejected R flags.

This is caused by the connecting software sending flags in an inappropriate order. The Dynamic session management in the firewall rejects flags which aren't in the correct order.

What to do

  1. Change to Packet filter for the affected services.
  2. Notify the sending server administrator about the defect software.
