Access from BLUE to the firewall's WebUI is currently permitted by default, which might be unwanted int certain scenarios.

I think we should introduce a button somewhere (firewall options?) to disable that easily, so users will not need to add firewall rules for that.

In my point of view, it might be a good idea to change the default settings here, but that needs to be discussed first.

We certainly need to allow access for port 81 (update accelerator, password change for proxy users, etc.).

It is not possible at all to disabled access to the WebUI from GREEN (not even with creating custom firewall rules).

I am okay with this change going ahead. I am not sure what the default should be. It would probably still be possible to access the WebUI from BLUE by using the GREEN IP address. That should be blocked then, too.
