Basic firewall config, yet blocking packets.

[tylerhall]

This is a brand new config, there's nothing on it.  I'm just trying to get packets to reach it, but it says it's being denied:

%ASA-3-710003: TCP access denied by ACL from 72.201.89.xx/23910 to outside:64.38.xxx.xx/80

I don't have a web server running on it, I'm just trying random ports to see if it'll go through before I start digging into my VPN issue.

Here is the config, allowing everything inbound/outbound:

What is making it deny all inbound packets?

Hello Tyler,

In ording to allow a packet from a lower security level to a higher security level on a version with nat-control enable you need:

1- A bidirectional translation ( Static one to one, Nat 0 with ACL)

2- An ACL allowing the traffic.

In this case you are missing the first one.

Hi Tyler,

Wat exactly are you trying to access, is it the outside interafce of the ASA?? If it is any other IP address in the same subnet that your isp has provided, then you would need to plug a host on the inside interface and do static nat for it, then only you would get a response for random ports on it.

Try this:

plug a host on the inside interface, assign an ip, lets say 10.0.16.2, then you would need the static:

static (inside,outside) 64.38.xx.xx 10.0.16.2

Then try the connection, it should then show you everything opened.
