You must always keep your Content Management and Content Delivery roles secure behind a firewall, but you must also allow them to contact essential Sitecore services.
Refer to these topics for configuring your firewall:
- Configure Sitecore Device Detection
- Setting up Sitecore IP Geolocation
- Use the EXM Delivery Cloud service
If you create a Support Package, and you want to analyze it with the Sitecore Diagnostics Service, you must open your firewall for https://diagnostics.cloud.sitecore.net.
If you do not have enough seat licenses, and you want to temporarily boost the seat limit, you must open your firewall for http://www.sitecore.net/boost/queryboost.aspx.
