Opening a port in the firewall

I want to be able to use pulptunes, but I need to be able to open a port in my firewall (15000), how do I go about this?

erikagwen,
Leopard has a new "Application Firewall." What this means for you is that it will automatically configure itself to allow your application to communicate, opening ports as needed, provided you authorize it to do so. When you first launch the application, the firewall will detect the "sockets" that it creates, and ask if you wish to allow it to accept outside requests.
It is also likely that you are behind a router, which will be running its own firewall. For this, you'll need to first determine the ports involved, then check and follow your router's documentation for forwarding those ports to your computer.

  • I need to open specific ports in the firewall - how do you do that?

    Hi There,
    I'm trying to setup a web development server on a spare mac mini but I can't figure out how to open ports for the MySQL server under Snow Leopard.
    Is there a way to do this? I've set the firewall to allow MAMP to open ports whenever it needs to but when I do a port scan of the Mac mini the MySQL port doesn't show up - SSH, HTTP and VNC do however.
    I'm happy to configure it via the Terminal but I can't find any info on how to do this in Snow Leopard as I think it's different from Leopard (based on what I've found online).
    e.g.
    $ ipfw show
    Gives me an error:
    "ipfw: socket: Operation not permitted"
    Any help would be much appreciated
    Cheers
    Ben

    After digging around it looks like Snow Leopard doesn't use ipfw for opening ports.
    Does anyone know how to open ports in Snow Leopard? Apple don't seem to have any info on this - besides the allow incoming connections for certain applications.
    Will try WaterRoof and see what happens.
    Cheers

  • Does configuring an endpoint opens a port in the guest VM firewall?

    Hi there. I found out that if I want to access a specific port in a VM (Java RMI in my case), I have to configure an endpoint for this port. However, I was surprised that configuring an endpoint was enough to access the port. I didn't change the firewall
    rules in the guest for this port and it was immediately accessible from outside Microsoft Azure.
    Does configuring an endpoint opens a port in the guest VM firewall?

    Hi,
    According to the official article below, it indicates that "Firewall configuration is done automatically for ports associated with Remote Desktop and Secure Shell (SSH), and in most cases for Windows PowerShell Remoting. For ports specified for
    all other endpoints, no configuration is done automatically to the firewall in the guest operating system. When you create an endpoint, you'll need to configure the appropriate ports in the firewall to allow the traffic you intend to route through the endpoint."

  • How to enter a range of ports in the firewall

    Does anyone know the syntax of how to enter a range of ports in the firewall so I don't have to enter each individual number? 
    For instance, to open port 15000 to 15264, is it possible to type something like "15000 - 15264" instead each port followed by a comma?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    In Tiger it is the same as the comma and dashes thing I listed for some routers.
    You can also click the Edit button in that pic I posted and look at which ports are listed (they will be greyed out on the Preset ones)
    Windows Sharing should list the SMB ports and the Printing ports.
    EDIT:
    Actually on this page where I listed how to set up iChat - SMB is a separate line.
    (Printing sharing may also list the Windows Print Sharing port)
    If those don't cover the Windows app you want to communicate with you will have to make your own Entry Like the Edit link I just inserted)

  • I have a 2T apple time capsule and router. I bought a Hauppauge WinTV extender which allows regular TV to be broadcasted on a PC. The program allows streaming to a Mac or iPad, iPhone, etc. I need to open a port on the router to allow this to work.

    I have a 2T apple time capsule and router. I bought a Hauppauge Win TV extender which allows TV to be broadcasted on a PC. The program allows for the TV to be streamed on a Mac, Iphone, Ipad. I need to access the router set up options to open a port on the router to allow this program to stream the TV to the Mac and Iphone. I do not know how to access the apple time capsule router to change the settings to open a port on the router. help please.

    Firstly you do not need to open ports to stream locally.. there is no port block in local LAN.. only WAN to LAN. So there is a good chance it is not needed at all..
    Opening ports on the TC I strongly recommend a v5 airport utility.. you can download one for windows if you don't have a Mac.. iOS version of the utility I am not sure but it will not work to do complex things.
    In the v5 utility go to the NAT area, and click on port mappings.
    Sorry I don't have a screen shot at the moment of the actual mapping page.. but simply put the IP of the device you want opened and the port.
    There are plenty of posts with this info if you google.
    But as noted.. this is purely WAN to LAN.. nothing else.

  • How to unblock UDP ports from the firewall of the Time Capsule

    Hello i just bought a time capsule and i am trying am using it as a router. I am trying to use Shakespeer
    that is like a server where you share files within the University,it runs with Dtella. However, when y try to get online a message tells me that the firewall of the router is blocking the UDP ports needed....how do i unblock those UDP ports so i can get online?
    Here is the message:
    In order for Dtella to communicate properly, it needs to receive UDP traffic
    [19:14] <*Dtella> from the Internet. Dtella is currently listening on UDP port 4000, but the
    [19:14] <*Dtella> packets appear to be getting blocked, most likely by a firewall or a router. If
    [19:14] <*Dtella> this is the case, then you will have to configure your firewall or router to
    [19:14] <*Dtella> allow UDP traffic through on this port. You may tell Dtella to use a different
    [19:14] <*Dtella> port from now on by typing !UDP followed by a number.

    Hello albertoPeralta. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    To open ports on the Time Capsule, you would use the AirPort Utility to configure Port Mapping.
    AEBSn - Port Mapping Setup
    To setup port mapping on an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or temporarily connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the LAN port of the AEBSn, and then use the AirPort Utility, in Manual Setup, to make these settings:
    1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the Shakespeer host device.
    Internet > DHCP tab
    o On the DHCP tab, click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
    o Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
    o Reserve address by: MAC Address
    o Click Continue.
    o MAC Address: <enter the MAC (what Apple calls Ethernet ID if you are using wired or AirPort ID if wireless) hardware address of the host computer>
    o IPv4 Address: <enter the desired IP address>
    o Click Done.
    2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
    Advanced > Port Mapping tab
    o Click the "+" (Add) button
    o Public UDP Port(s): 4000
    o Private IP Address: <enter the IP address of the host server>
    o Private UDP Port(s): 4000
    o Click "Continue"

  • How do I port forward or open a port on the Airport time capsule to hook p a security system?

    I have an airport time capsule and a security system.  The installer doesn't know anything about using routers etc, especially on a mac.  They say I have to port forward or open a port specifically of this device.  I have very few skills when doing this IT type.  Is this hard to do?  Can I do it myself?  He wants to get an IT guy out?  $55 an hour, how long would it take?  Thanks in advance for anyone who can help!

    The method is here.
    AirPort - Port Mapping Basics using AirPort Utility v6.x
    If you need to get someone in, it depends.. The TC can be recalcitrant.. due to your setup of it following the apple guides.. and it depends on the security system and how simple that is.
    There are multiple issues.. for example how do you find your IP address from the web when you have dynamic IP from your ISP.
    Do you intend to setup dynamic DNS? Can the camera /dvr system handle Dynamic DNS?
    I recommend you read very carefully the instructions for what has been installed.. because merely opening the port is only a small part of the issues involved in remote access to the security system.

  • RDS and Gateway issues: Cannot get remoteapps to run without opening port 3389 on firewall

    I am testing the setup of a small RDweb server to host QuickBooks for some remote sales users (4 users). For the most part, I have everything installed on one virtual server (using 2012r2 "Quick Start" session host deployment with the additional
    Licensing and Gateway server roles added to the same server).
    Everything works excellent with one exception. External clients cannot launch published apps without having port 3389 open on the firewall, even with the gateway role installed and the 'Deployment Properties' set to use the gateway. They can properly connect
    to the RDweb site and view the published apps. The only way it works is open the firewall port (at which time I can disable the gateway or leave it configured and it works either way). Internally, everything works accordingly. I have followed the steps outlined
    on many sites and have combed though the forum here to no avail.
    Error received (summarized but is a well documented error):
    remote desktop can't connect to the remote computer: 1- Your user account is not listed (it actually is) or 2- You might have specified the remote computer in NetBios format . . etc.
    This is an existing SBS 2011 environment with additional virtual servers setup to host QuickBooks as outlined below:
    Current setup:
    Used Quick Start to install Remote Desktop Services in hosted sessions mode
    Installed the additional roles for Licensing and Gateway server on same server
    Configured wild card public certificates on all four services (Connection Broker(2), Web Access and Gateway)
    Configured internal DNS to properly lookup our external FQDN of this server (ex. quickbooks.contoso.com points to quickbooks.contoso.local
    One thing I noticed (just now) when I launch a published app and the firewall has port 3389 closed, a dialog box pops up directly after launching the app that warns about running a RemoteApp program and mentions the Remote Computer and the Gateway Server
    as both the same (which it is); however, I would have assumed one would have listed the internal server's name while, instead, both are listed as the external FQDN. Either way, internal DNS should still allow it to properly route . . no? I don't know . . I'm
    sure I am just missing something in a routing configurations somewhere. The gateway service is not properly looking up the RDweb service and then seeming not routing the encapsulated RDP session through HTTPS. . .. is my guess . .
    I was reading about the "set published name" commandlet; however, I am not experiencing a certificate name mismatch; however, the certificate name does show up as *.contoso.com versus the actual name. I may just be grasping as straws now . . :)

    Ok, while I was in the server and looking over the BPA scans: "The Remote Desktop Gateway (RD Gateway) server Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate may not have a valid certificate subject name." This may be due to it showing up as *.companyname.com
    versus quickbooks.companyname.com. Anyhow. .. on to the list of actions above:
    Changed RD RAP from "Select Active Directory" group to "Allow any network resource" and tested with port 3389 closed on firewall:
    Worked. Initially it did not as I had used a custom shortcut created from earlier; however, after logging into the RDweb site again, the application loaded fine now (after the RD RAP change)
    No error message appeared; however, I did notice that for a split second, the word Error did appear in the browser's tab title, but only very shortly. The app launch does take a bit longer too now (about 10-15 seconds, up from about 4 seconds with the port
    open). This, I could care less about so long as we are properly forwarding the traffic through the gateway.
    As for log entries, I had spend quite a bit of time in there and only had minor issues with loading user profile setting taking too long and policy settings preventing the redirection of USB devices. Looking again, no issues still. Just a bunch of informational
    entries where I would connect before (and disconnect) but only with the port on the firewall open; otherwise, there was not an entry corrolating to when I would receive an error before. Now though, I am connecting after the RD RAP change and logs are showing
    connections even with the port closed. These are in "operational", the "admin" log only shows the update to the RD RAP configuration.
    Yes, the LAN's DNS server does relay the lookup information for my public FQDN as the local LAN address. No need for a local host record.
    I have now added a new rule in our firewall to allow and forward UDP port 3391 traffic to the internal server hosting remote services
    Thank you very much for your assistance on this matter. The RD RAP rule was default built during the creation of this services. Why is the resource not cross-referencing AD security groups? I could have sworn I created a group for that . . .

  • IE HTTP close (reset) - port reuse causing firewall issues

    Having an issue with some systems reusing the same TCP port number between sessions, causing the firewall to drop the connection.
    Internet Explorer is creating the HTTP socket connection to port 80. An ephemeral port (assigned by Windows) is bound to the local side of the connection. The first connection goes through just fine. The socket is
    closed/reset. However, the very next connection (hundreds of milliseconds later), is using the same ephemeral port, causing the firewall to discard the connection.
    I have tried setting TcpTimedWaitDelay in the registry but that did not help. Since the socket is being reset, it never goes into the TIME_WAIT state.
    Any suggestions? This does not happen consistently - on the order of 10s of times per day.
    Thanks!

  • I have widows 7 and want to know how to open a port

    I want to open port 40 but cannot find out how.

    Hi,
    Do a full virus and malware scan on your PC to ensure that a virus or malware program is not trying to trick you into opening the port.
    Typically this port (40) is closed as it could be used as an exploit by a virus or malware program.
    Most ports will be opened as necessay by the firewall product for the program requesting to go outbound.
    In some cases, you might have to do a manual configure and additionally set the required protocol. However, this is not recommended. 
    Let's make sure that you don't have a virus or malware on your PC that is causing your issue.
    Try the Symantec Security scan to see if you have issues.
    If you do have issues then try these Symantec Rescue Tools.

  • ZBF commands to open OpenVPN port in on Cisco 1812

    Hello,
    I am running an OpenVPN server on an internal private network on port 1194/UDP and would like to open this port for the internet on a Cisco 1812 router (this router uses Zone based firewall). For that purpose I have added the following configuration using the IOS CLI:
    ip nat inside source static udp 10.0.0.5 1194 interface FastEthernet0 1194
    ip port-map user-openvpn port udp 1194 description OpenVPN
    access-list 103 permit udp any host 10.0.0.5 eq 1194
    class-map type inspect match-all sdm-nat-openvpn-1
    match access-group 103
    policy-map type inspect sdm-pol-NATOutsideToInside-1
    ! other class types here for SSH & HTTP
    class type inspect sdm-nat-openvpn-1
      inspect
    class class-default
      drop log
    Unfortunately the OpenVPN port is not accessible from the outside (internet). Does anyone know what I did wrong here? or maybe did I forget a configuration parameter?
    Thanks for your help.
    Best,
    John

    John,
    The answer is, Nothing. You did not do anything wrong. Can you put logs on the Router to verify that maybe something else is being dropped?
    Login via Telnet/SSH and do in config mode:
    IP inspect log drop-pkt
    Do term mon
    Then try to initialize the VPN session and check what you get.

  • Internet Requests bypassing the firewall

    Hi All,
    The client wants to have a single landscape for the Internet and Intranet users (External Facing Portal for Only Authenticated users), also they wish to have the request coming from the internet directly i.e not through the firewall. What do you guys suggest for the same?
    What I feel is that it could be done by publishing the hostname as a global hostname on the internet (virtual IP address). So the requests from the intranet would be handled by the proxy and the access to the portal from the internet would be handled as a request on any other internet portal.
    But, considering the security issues should AND can be this be done?
    Thank You.
