The ION device inherently hardens all the ports designated as
Internet
. You can access only UDP 4500, 500 (ISAKMP), and ESP ports. The utilization of UDP port 500 (ISAKMP) is exclusively reserved for standard VPNs. Configure the ports accordingly to avoid automatic rejection of requests. The ION device blocks any unsolicited incoming internet traffic.
