Desktop firewalls can block the ports necessary for WatchGuard server components to operate. Before you install the Management Server, Log Server, Report Server, Quarantine Server, or WebBlocker Server on a computer with an active desktop firewall, you might need to open the necessary ports on the desktop firewall. Windows Firewall users do not have to change their configurations because the installation program opens the necessary ports in Windows Firewall automatically.
This table shows you the ports you must open on a desktop firewall.
| Server Type/Appliance Software | Protocol/Port |
|---|---|
| Management Server | TCP 4109, TCP 4112, TCP 4113 |
| Log Server | TCP 4115 |
| WebBlocker Server | TCP 5003, UDP 5003 |
|
Quarantine Server |
TCP 4119, TCP 4120 |
| Report Server | TCP 4122 |
| Log Server | TCP 4121 |
| WatchGuard WebCenter | TCP 4130 |
The locally installed WebBlocker Server only supports Fireboxes with Fireware OS 12.1.x or lower installed. For more information, go to the Fireware 12.1 Help.
