It is important to feel in security when running BOINC, hence my idea to build a firewall to restrict connection to only those needed by the WCG.
----------------------------------------Which IP addresses should be allowed? My firewall is too restrictive yet. It is refusing all input and output connections exept: 1) accept 198.20.8.241 the IP linked to worldcommunity website 3) input and output tcp connections on port 31416 , the port used by BOINC With this firewall I get the message: BOINC can't access Internet - check network connection or proxy configuration. Which additional IP/ports should be added to the firewall list? Thank you [Edit 3 times, last edit by Former Member at Nov 4, 2016 1:04:31 PM] |

Hit Help very top-right of screen, then type FIREWALL into help search box, to find the ports answer in the first item.

Should I include any BOINC related addresses in the firewall?
----------------------------------------This following firewall works, however
# set DROP default policy The script can be found at https://github.com/boinc-scripts/firewall-worldcommunitygrid [Edit 17 times, last edit by Former Member at Nov 4, 2016 2:00:11 PM] |
