Hi guys!
Could you advice, what TCP/UDP ports should be opened on server and client sides as well?
Regards,
Sergey

Players connect to the CMS on TCP/80 or TCP/443 (depending on whether you have SSL enabled on your CMS or not), and from 1.8.0 onwards, TCP/9505.
You need to allow those inbound to the CMS. There’s no connections from the CMS to the Players so in most cases there’s no need to make firewall rule changes Player side.
