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