Hi Dan.

I use a firewall.

You'll need to configure the firewall to allow traffic through port 3000.
Depending on the firewall, that's not a big deal. Of course as you open up
the firewall, you are subject to a security attack. I don't think you'll
have too much to worry about given that ECS strictly controls its security.
Of course, someone could mount an attack on ECS that might result in ECS
being tied up with so many requests that it can't manage its automation
tasks.

Regards,
Rob
