Another option is to use your Routers port forwarding feature when firewall is
in operation i.e.,
pass port 24554 to 192.168.1.3
port 8080 to same
port 22 to 192.168.1.65
Etc.
The above for the services you are allowing through but any other will be
barred.
This does assume you are using a router that allows there features as there
are
many that are given by ISP that are very basic in features - although for a
fair few they are hard, to get access to such settings.
Could be the reason why I have always bought a good router in place of an ISP
one and only have that as a back up. That said the biggest problem with the
freebies are poor wifi services (I.e., Virgin Media routers but are ok as a
modem and even more so if you have a land line service.
