3.3. Synchronize firewall policies
3.4. Create a firewall policy
3.5. Edit firewall rules
You can define firewall rules for inbound and outbound traffic in your firewall policy.
In AWS, before you edit firewall rules, synchronize the firewall to update the rules because AWS will not allow you to create a rule that already exists in the security group. Remember that it may take some time for firewall rules to propagate throughout AWS. Until the rules have propagated, the platform will not be able to detect them. See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/query-api-troubleshooting.html#eventual-consistency
To add a new firewall rule:
Select the virtual datacenter or location
Select the firewall
On the Firewall rules panel, click the pencil Edit button
Select the Inbound or Outbound tab for the traffic direction you wish to control

Port range with the Start port and End port that this rule will apply to.
To enter one port, enter the same value twice, or optionally apply the rule to a number of ports at the same time.
For Azure and GCP, you can enter:a single port, such as
80a range, such as
1024-65535a list of port/range, such as
80,1024-65535
Sources or Targets as a network address and netmask, or a comma separated list of these (with no spaces)
Click Add. The firewall rule will be added to the Firewall rules list
Enter more rules as required, then click Save
