standalone ports</div>
<div><br></div>
<div dir="ltr">Hello all,<br><br>I have installed and configured the OpenSim
standalone server on a separate server. It is a highly secure where only
certain TCP are open.<br><br>Now, I assumed since OpenSim listens on the
default UDP/TCP 9000 port, I only have to open that port, but I still have
problems connecting to it.<br><br>Are there any ports that need to be opened
in order for me to successfully connect it via the viewer?<br></div>
