QUESTION:

What ports need to be open and on which protocol?

 
ANSWER:

The following default ports are required to be open in order to allow for Live Streaming and Second Screen (note: you may also want port 22 open for SSH access to your server):

  • 5080 : default HTTP access of Red5 Pro
  • 443 : modified HTTPS port
  • 1935 : default Red5 Pro RTMP port
  • 8554 : default Red5 Pro RTSP port
  • 6262 : websockets for HLS
  • 8088: second screen client registry
  • 40,000 -65535 : TURN/STUN/ICE port range (UDP)

For servers older than 5.4.0 (as of 5.4.0, websockets connects on the same ports as HTTP/HTTPS):

  • 8081 : websockets for WebRTC
  • 8083 : secure Websockets for WebRTC
