Question: 1 / 400

If the Outgoing policy is disabled, what policies must be added to allow access to websites?

HTTP port 80

To allow access to websites when the Outgoing policy is disabled, adding an HTTP port 80 policy is essential. Port 80 is the default port used for web traffic using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). When users attempt to access standard websites, their requests typically go through port 80. By creating a policy that explicitly allows traffic on this port, you enable users to reach those sites without the Outgoing policy in effect.

While NAT policies are important for translating internal IP addresses to public ones, they do not directly facilitate web traffic access. Similarly, FTP on port 21 and HTTPS on port 443 pertain to different types of traffic. FTP is specifically for file transfers, while HTTPS is the secure version of HTTP, utilizing port 443 for encrypted web traffic. However, if the aim is to allow standard web browsing on unencrypted sites, the policy for HTTP (port 80) is paramount.
