UTM Home blocking IM programs

Question

Hey all, 
 
 New UTM Home user. Most things are working as expected. IM programs will not login however. Am I correct in assuming that if I create a firewall rule that is ANY-ANY-ANY that I have bypassed the firewall for testing purposes? Even with this rule IM programs still will not connect. 
 
 Thanks, 
 
 James

Firewall rules are what you set. You are confusing web proxy and firewall rules. If you your IM programs are not using web proxy values port 80, depending on your configuration. If you disable the web proxy and just use your internal->allow-->any-> external rule everything should go out. IanM 
 
 This assumes you have a MASQ rule in place.
