Help me please with firewall

[k0in]

I got a firewall, and tried to bypass it using httport.
So, config file says it should connect to planeshift.fragnetics.com port 13331, i rewrote cfg file so that program should connect to localhost 13331 and then mapped 13331 local port to 13331 port of planeshift.fragnetics.com.
It always worked with MUDS, so i cannot understand why it doesnot work for this game, may be i just changed data in wrong places?

The port 13331 udp is the port the server listens to. You don\'t necessarily need to have that port open. On my Computer the client uses something around 32770 udp, it depends (no clue on what, though). Make sure, that some high ports are open or get forwarded in that region.

Hmmm port 13331 is what the Planeshift server listens on. This is not the same as the port your client uses to open a connection to the server. The server returns data to the client using UDP on a separate port. I\'m not sure of the port number here, but you can give it a check by running something like netstat on your computer while Planeshift is running and making sure that all UDP data sent to that port is forwarded to you.

It\'s all good.

It talks back out on whatever port you initially contacted it with, which will be a dynamic and available high udp port. As long as your firewall will allow back connects everything\'s good.

You can arguably just open the high ports for that server, if you have no daemon type services running. If you\'re a trusting soul, just open all high incoming ports. :)
