Hey, there. There's no need to worry. That firewall won't keep you from FaceTiming with the love of your life. Apple has posted information on its support website with detailed instructions on how to get past this little roadblock. After all, nothing should keep lovers apart--isn't it already a battlefield?
According to Apple, the following should help you out in getting past a firewall with Facetime:
If the Wi-Fi network router that you are connected to uses a firewall or security software to restrict Internet access, contact the network administrator and reference this technical article. To use FaceTime on a restricted Wi-Fi network, port forwarding must be enabled for ports 53, 80, 443, 4080, 5223, and 16393-16472 (UDP).
The Wi-Fi network administrator can refer to their router, firewall, or security software documentation for information on configuring port forwarding.
If you encounter issues using a Wi-Fi network, use standard Wi-Fi network troubleshooting to resolve interference and other issues.
