Available Services

IPBrick has a number of installed services. Part of them is enabled and part of them is stopped. Part of them is for the Intranet and (some) others are wanted to be available for the Internet, too. In this interface you give indication to the firewall concerning the services related with the Internet that have to be available from the external world.

These services are:

• Web Server;
• E-mail server;
• SSH;
• FTP.

The list Firewall - Available Services (Figure 4.1), indicates the service status - whether the firewall is configured to let that service work (Active) or it is configured to block those service ports (Inactive).

Note that defining here a service as active doesn't start the service or stops it. The single change implemented in the Definitions Update only affects the firewall service (first it stops, reconfigures and then restarts). In other words, here you can only configure the firewall to open or to shut the Internet port for a defined service (whether the service is working is another configuration besides this section).
