SB able to set firewall outbound rule

[NewsArchive]

Hi,

For my H5 app I have made a SB utility that sets the necessary
exeptions in the Windows firewall.
It works great, but only sets them for inbound rule.

You could argue that outbound rules shouldn't be necessary, but I think
I should be able to set them anyway.

Am I owerlooking something here ?

Cheers

What would they be? Generally speaking a web server will use any port
available for return packets, they just listen on specified ports.
