Add one firewall rule to the network

Use this to create firewall rules to apply to the network settings. Most commonly this is to setup web access (port 80 and 443)

gce_make_firewall_rule(name, protocol, ports, sourceRanges = NULL,
  sourceTags = NULL, project = gce_get_global_project())

Arguments

name	Name of the firewall rule
protocol	Protocol such as tcp, udp, icmp, esp, ah, sctp or IP protocol number.
ports	Port numbers to open
sourceRanges	From where to accept connections. If NULL then will default to 0.0.0.0/0 (everywhere)
sourceTags	A list of instance tags this rule applies to. One or both of sourceRanges and sourceTags may be set.
project	The Google Cloud project

Value

A global operation object

sourceRanges and/or sourceTags

If both properties are set, an inbound connection is allowed if the range or the tag of the source matches the sourceRanges OR matches the sourceTags property; the connection does not need to match both properties.
