[Partysip-dev] how to configure iptables on partysip firewall, using messenger as client

[Gilion Goudsmit]

Hello people!

 

I'm trying to get my Messenger to transfer files, do voicechat etcetera thru my iptables firewall...

 

I can sign in using the communication service thingy and do the chat thing perfectly, so that all seems to work...

 

As I understand it, if I were to initiate a transfer from my workstation, the request would be sent to partysip, and is passed on the intended receiver. Meanwhile the sender (my machine) is listening for a connection to send the file over.

 

The receiver gets the request and connects to the proxy. The proxy is expecting this, and passes the request to my workstation and the file is transferred.

 

All connections are UDP I suppose, as the partysip docs tell me TCP is not supported yet.

 

So the recipient makes a UDP connection to the proxy... On what port is this? Because I'll probably need to allow incoming UDP traffic so the proxy can receive the request and pass it on...

 

Thanks, GG.
