How to play Zynga poker pass through Smoothwall’s firewall

Zynga Poker is one of Zynga online games that have many fans around the world that always play it every day. Just login to your facebook profile and you already can play this poker game.

If you have a direct connection to the internet that will no problem to play this game but about pass through a proxy server connection? Maybe you will not be able to play this game. In my case, I couldn’t play a zynga poker in my office because we were using a SmoothWall Express as our proxy server.

This Smoothwall Express will automatically block port 9339 that being used to connect to Zynga poker server, so we wouldn’t be able to play. So, how to solve this problem?

These are some simple step to add an exception to Smoothwall’s firewall:

Login to your smoothwall express using mozilla and then go to menu networking->outgoing. Add exception to green interface, choose user defined for application or service and fill the port with 9339. Checklist enable option and click add button.

After adding port 9339 to your smoothwall outgoing exception you will see port 9339 that being used to play zynga poker already in exception

Reboot your smoothwall express and the problem’s solved. You can play zynga poker without being blocked by smoothwall firewall. 
