I'm seeing blocked outbound traffic on my firewall and am wondering what ports I should have open on my firewall. And should I be concerned about any of this?
I have 53,67,68,123,5353/udp and 53,80,443/tcp open. I use gmail so I don't need the mail ports open.
Hi Folks,
I'm seeing blocked outbound traffic on my firewall and am wondering what ports I should have open on my firewall.
No idea...we don't know what (if any) services you need running that need access out of your firewall, or anything about your internal network or the rest of your setup.

Are you running a boot server? If not, then stop whatever service is providing that (67 & 68). 53 is DNS. 80/443 are web (are you running a web server?) and 5353 is a plex media server (are you running one?) This is your third thread that's firewall/have-I-been-compromised related. Best network security advice is: if you don't need the service, then close the port.
