Ports Blocked

[thecooldude]

Im using Wingate 5.2.3 with ENS support, How can I open all outgoing TCP/UDP ports, even if I disable Wingate firewall i cannot access lot of digichat websites. Please guide me how to open all ports by default.

To open all ports, you would change the default action from deny to allow.

Obvious security warnings apply, and make sure you have all the latest patches from MS, else you will have a virus real quick.

However, by default outbound from your LAN to the internet is not blocked, so do you see any hits in the firewall tab in GateKeeper?

I'm thinking it is probably something else you need to do to get these sites working.

Hi

It sounds like the server you are connecting to is trying to connect back to your client machine.

Normally any outbound connections just work through the NAT, and you don't need to open firewall holes, the return packets are recognised as being part of a connection, and passed through.

If you get firewall hits from these servers, then it normally means they are trying to send to you on a secondary connection that your client didn't initiate, and therefore WinGate treats them as a new connection from someone that it knows nothing about, and applies the firewall rules. If you opened those ports, it still wouldn't help, since that would mean the packets would be received by the WinGate machine, not by your client machine behind WinGate.

Your best bet might be to use the WinGate Client for this application, that will allow your applications to listen on ports on the server.
