Inbound connection from internet will be unsolicited probes to hack
user's network so they are all disabled - the only access would be web
page access (e.g. orbi management)
player and server will communicate without need for the internet and any
internet connection will be initiated by player/server outgoing to
internet and so all outgoing connections are enabled.
