Client port question 🔗 link

Hey guys,

I have been asked to monitor a web server in our DMZ; I was able to load
and start the client but am only displaying the ping test; the network
engineer asked which ports I needed opened to allow the client to pass
data to the host.

I can not find that information, I have looked in the man pages and the
hobbit monitor doc no luck.

Can someone assist?

.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I've just added this to README.CLIENT:


Firewall issues
===============
The client must be able to connect to the Hobbit server on
TCP port 1984 (or whatever your BBPORT setting is). Note that
the client initiates the connection, so it is an outbound
connection from the client to the Hobbit server.

If the client cannot make an outbound connection (e.g. for
servers in a DMZ network), then you can reverse the direction
of the connection by using the "msgcache" program on the
client, and "hobbitfetch" on the Hobbit server (see their
man-pages for details on setting it up). In such a setup it is
the Hobbit server that connects to the client.
