 Enabling connectivity to Synchronet through your firewall is no different than enabling connectivity to any other TCP/IP server. Follow your firewall documentation for forwarding or opening ports for TCP/IP servers located "behind" the firewall. Your firewall may have the option of placing the entire BBS computer in a "DMZ" (opening all its ports to the public Internet), but doing so is not normally recommended.  Enabling connectivity to Synchronet through your firewall is no different than enabling connectivity to any other TCP/IP server.
