Default to Allow All Incoming Upon Install To Prevent Losing Remote Connection

Open pldmgg opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

What would you like to add or change?:

I'd like the installer to have an option/parameter to default the global inbound rule to "allow all" so that I don't lose my ssh/rdp/vnc/other remote protocol connection when I'm installing portmaster via remote session. If allow all inbound seems a bit crazy, maybe just add options/parameters to the installer to allow inbound tcp connections for popular remoting protocols.

Why do you and others need this?:

Allows for remote installs.

Blocked inbound connections may be inconvenient in some cases, but it reduces the attack surface. To install Portmaster on a server please see #707.
