This is the often-out-of-date guide to internet at Respawn, current as of before v27.
As of a few events ago, we now have a semi-reliable connection to the internet. Semi-reliable in that it's not 100% guaranteed that we will be granted permission to use it every event forever, but it's definitely reliable in the forwards-your-packets-at-great-speed sense.

General web browsing is allowed (HTTP and HTTPS). Do not abuse this privilege.
We will do our best to allow all games through the firewall. We operate on a whitelist basis. If you would like to play a game that is not presently allowed, then let us know. Lots of bonus points if you come to me with a list of UDP and TCP ports that the game needs.
