 Posted: Tue May 04, 2004 9:06 am Post subject: Firewall: Activated |
 |
|
Ok, to live more securely I activated firewall on my router now I need to know a few things about what ports to enable for my applications to work.
1) I use IMAP and SMTP for my mail
2) I download files through the torrent network
3) I use xMule
4) I use DC
5) What ports to enable for portage and rsync (Ive enabled ports 80 and 21 both inbound and outbound trafic)
6) UT2004
7) Mplayer internet radio
 I watch mpeg files hosted on sites on the internet through gxine
9) I also use Xchat to downlaod music, but i heared you have to open many ports for this one, is it true?
10) streamtuner
11) gdesklet weather display
12) Telnet (isnt that port 25?)
13) MSN and Jabber
Thats about it so far, i know i can search firewall logs for the ports, but that takes a while, i thought it might be easier to just ask here.
Thanks a lot to anyone who replies.

look in you /etc/services : 143 for imap and 25 for smtp

I think it's 6881 to 6889 but I am not sure, however you just type 'bittorrent firewall' in google , click on the first link and you discover the list of ports:
| Quote: | | As of 3.2 and later, the range has been extended to 6881-6999 |

It' 4992 by default, but a lot of people use different ports
| petrjanda wrote: | | 4) I use DC |
It's 412 and 1412 I think (may be 411 also ...)

look for rsync in your /etc/services: it's port 873
| petrjanda wrote: | | 6) UT2004 |
Don't know
| petrjanda wrote: | | 7) Mplayer internet radio |
80 is ok most of the time, but that depends of the radio sometimes
| petrjanda wrote: | | I watch mpeg files hosted on sites on the internet through gxine |
80 for http ?

6667 for irc (look at you /etc/services or at the logs of your irc client)+ maybe an other one for the files transfers
| petrjanda wrote: | | 10) streamtuner |
Don't know that one
| petrjanda wrote: | | 11) gdesklet weather display |

| petrjanda wrote: | | 12) Telnet (isnt that port 25?) |
look at your /etc/services, It's 23
| petrjanda wrote: | | 13) MSN and Jabber |
1863 for msn for me, I don't know for Jabber

Most of the information is in /etc/services, also if you don't like your firewall's log, you can install tcpdump, or you might take a look at this: http://firehol.sourceforge.net/services.html
