Dear Brian, Thank you really for your feedback, what you mentioned is correct, however I understand that any call to comes from external system to public context to processed , the external system IP shall be allowed via ACL, accordingly we shouldn't expect any traffic to processed from a server/IP that is not defined in the ACL, am I correct? Thanks, Ahmed Habiba.
