Firewalls control network access, not programs.  But if JIRA is running locally on the server browser, program access is not the problem anyway.  It's running, so it's a network issue.

The answer to your firewall settings is that you need to open whatever route it is from your client to the server, and on the right port.  Jira's default port is 8080, but you need to check on the server what it's actually running on.  The easiest check is to look at the url in your "server browser", as you say that is working.  You'll find it's something like http://servername:8080/jira - the :8080 gives you the port you need to open on the firewalls.  If there's no port in the url, then it's been changed to use one of the defaults for http (80) or https (443)

You can manually permit a program to access the internet by opening a firewall port. You will need to know what port it uses and the protocol to make this work.

1. Navigate to Control Panel, System and Security and Windows Firewall.
2. Select Advanced settings and highlight Inbound Rules in the left pane.
3. Right click Inbound Rules and select New Rule.
4. Add the port you need to open and click Next.
5. Add the protocol (TCP or UDP) and the port number into the next window and click Next.
6. Select Allow the connection in the next window and hit Next.
7. Select the network type as you see fit and click Next.
8. Name the rule something meaningful and click Finish.
