FAHClient / Linux / Debian / Ports open / can i close ?

Post by jhaering »

Hi,

FAHClient runs on Linux/Debian server. There are two open ports: 7396, 36330. Are these ports needed ? I don't need access from outside. How can I close the ports via FAHClient ?

Greetings

Those ports are used by Web Control and FAHControl respectively to connect locally with FAHClient. They need to be open. As installed these ports can only be connected to over the local IP 127.0.0.1.

The ports should be closed in your firewall to outside automatically.

If you have other users on there, I would close the ports. You can disable them in the config.
