router / port forwarding settings

[apolloblueplanet]

Hello,

I use:
* VU+ Duo
* Black hole 2.05 rev B
* CAM Mgcamd-1.35a

On the linux box everything seems ok, I modified newcamdlist and uploaded it with Filezilla.
According to me there is something missing in my router settings, do I have to setup any portforwarding?
Thanks for your assistance,
Stijn

Thanks for your reply.

I do have to allow incomming traffice from the server back to the IP address of my Vu+ within my network?
Thanks,
Stijn

You have to disable firewall for your VU+ receiver, otherwise- how would you exchange data with the server? Your receiver must send requests to the server, server will send you the keys to encode the channels you watch.

OK,
my vu+ receiver is behind a cisco router with integrated firewall.
the VU+ has internal IP 192.xxx.xx.10
According to the settings in "my subscription" I will have outbound traffic to your servers contacting the ports in the CWS lines.

does this mean I have to open up the same ports in my firewall to let traffic back in?
e.g.  outbound traffic to www.serverexample.com port 5434
I should allow a port forwarding for any incomming traffic directed to 5434 towards 192.xxx.xx.10?
I am still confused!
I can also put the vu+ in the DMZ, but then it is accessible and not secure.

If they match to the ports of your router - YES, you have to open them. As I think, port of your router and server port - not the same thing. However, you need to open all incoming and outgoing traffic related to our server.
