Outbound Firewall Port Requirements

[Kyu]

 

 

 

Problem:

 

PokeMMO requires certain ports to be open when connecting to the server, but you have a firewall configured to block outgoing connections from your computer by default.

 

Solution:

 

The following outbound ports need to be opened in order to connect to the game:

 

• TCP 7777 (Game)
• TCP 2106 (Login)
• TCP 80 (Feed)
• TCP 443 (Secure Feed, Announcements)

Instructions for each support operating system are listed below:
