Thanks for the reply. 

This is for VOIP phone configuration. Some devices require tftp initially
before then being able to use http. We need the configuration available
publicly and it's not practical to have these devices connecting over VPN to
get their configuration.

Regarding the firewall we tested with flushed firewall rules and still got
the same problem.
