Firewall Configuration
We strongly recommend that the FileHub virtual appliance be deployed behind a firewall. This guide provides guidance for how to configure the ports to open on your firewall.
The FileHub appliance must have at least some inbound and outbound connectivity to the public Internet, and that is detailed on this page as well.
Refer to the tables below when configuring your firewall for the list of ports which need to be opened.
