A firewall is a hardware component or piece of security software used to guard against unwanted network connectivity or access. The firewall on a server or workstation can stop QuickBooks POS corporate data from communicating with the workstation.

When connectivity is prevented, QuickBooks Point of Sale frequently automatically sets up the firewall ports for you. However, there are situations when we must configure manually, as we will explore in more detail.

If you manually setup your firewall application, read the relevant sections of the handbook that came with the firewall programme.

There are some QuickBooks POS functions that will interrupt by the firewall

1. Credit card processing using Intuit Merchant Services using electronic funds transfer.

2. Database Server Manager: This feature allows you to connect to the corporate file and record transactions or updates (Server installation only).

3. Product licencing and user validation are provided by Intuit Entitlement Service.

How to manually configure the QuickBooks POS firewall

You must observe the following requirements:

1. You should able to perform using Windows Administrator rights.

2. If you're using a third-party security tool, make sure that you've added the Firewall Ports and Executable files that QuickBooks Point of Sale needs.

3. If you are using a third-party security product, contact the developer

Now, carry out the manual configuration steps listed below:

During QuickBooks firewall manual configuration, you will be asked, "What do you wish to do?" with alternatives to deny, block, grant, permit, or something similar. You must decide whether to approve, grant, or approve the action.

Not all actions in the Point of Sale application are instantly enabled when one action is permitted for a file. A firewall may detect several separate files' operations as attempts to connect to the Internet connection. Each activity requires a unique authorization to grant.
