Boxis Cloud allows setting default firewall rules which will be applied to all IP addresses with all ports for all protocols. To set default firewall rules:
- Go to your Control Panel’s Virtual Machinesmenu.
- Click the label of the machine to which you want to configure a firewall rule.
- Click the Networking -> Firewall tab.
- On the page that appears scroll down to the Default Firewall Rulessection and set the following: - Choose the interface for which you define a rule. - Define a rule (Accept or Drop).
If you choose the network interface Int1 with the ACCEPT rule, it means that firewall set to Int1 network interface will accept all the requests and packet types from all IPs. If you define the Int2 network interface with the DROP rule, the firewall of the Int2 will block all the requests and packets addressed to it.
Expected result
- The product behaves as described in each step (connectivity, message, or UI state).
If something goes wrong
- Repeat the step and check for typos (hostnames, passwords, ports).
- Note the exact error message or screenshot.
- Open a ticket in the Boxis client area with the service name, time of the test, and any trace (e.g. traceroute) if it is a network issue.
