2) Under Rule Type (on left;default selection), select "Custom"
3) Select "Scope" (on left), and under "Which remote IP addresses does this rule apply to?", select, "These IP addresses".
4) Click Add, and enter the IP address for the server you wish to access (ping for your domain's IP)
5) Click next, ensure "Allow the connection" is selected
6) Click next and give your new rule a name and then finish.
Repeat the above procedure for the outbound rule.
