136 Chapter 9 Managing Server Information
Changing Firewall Settings
Use the Firewall pane of Server Preferences to set up a firewall that protects your server
from users on other networks or the Internet. The firewall controls incoming
connections that originate outside your server’s local network (IP subnet). The firewall
can allow individual services to accept incoming connections from computers outside
your server’s local network, or restrict selected services to accept incoming connections
only from computers on your server’s local network. You can start the firewall and
select the services that restrict incoming connections. You can also stop the firewall to
allow incoming connections to all services from outside your server’s local network.
