Firewall Access Rules control the flow of inbound and outbound Internet traffic from the local network to the public Internet. Both routers and firewalls use access rules to control traffic and verify the source and destination addresses are permitted to send and receive traffic on the local network.

The simplest way to avoid issues is to open inbound and outbound traffic to and from Nextiva’s IP addresses.
Nextiva recommends that a local Network Administrator whitelist the following rules in the firewall:
