Step 4 – Click the checkbox next to the rule, to enable it. If you are using a pre-defined application (such as ftp), you can select the application from the “Application Name” drop-down menu, in order to auto-fill the fields. For non-pre-defined applications, you will need fill in the “Ports to Open” fields manually.
