Overview

A common question when migrating to AppManager or troubleshooting issues is whether any URLs should be whitelisted or ports open to ensure stable AppManager operations. To ensure stable and efficient communications, you have to ensure that https://appmanager.gfi.com is reachable and a few local ports are not blocked.

Solution

The only strict requirement is that https://appmanager.gfi.com should be reachable from the server where the GFI Agent is installed. Make sure you can reach this URL on HTTP port (443) in a browser or with a curl.

Summary

To ensure the proper functionality of AppManager, it is essential that the URL https://appmanager.gfi.com is accessible from the server where the GFI Agent is installed. This URL should be reachable via HTTP on port 443. Additionally, for optimal performance and connection speed, it is recommended to allow internal devices to initiate TCP connections to any destination on port 443, and UDP connections from local port 41641 to any remote port, as well as UDP connections to remote port 3478.
