Local Port: |
4662 |
|
Remote Port: |
any |
|
Protocol: |
TCP |
|
Direction: |
incoming |
|
Purpose: |
Client Port / Connections from other clients, Client
to Client Source Exchange |
|
Note: |
You can change this port in Preferences ->
Connection -> Client Port
This port has to be forwarded in a router. Changing
this port in Preferences you must also change the forwarding
in the router

2) |
Local Port: |
any |
|
Remote Port: |
4662 |
|
Protocol: |
TCP |
|
Direction: |
outgoing |
|
Purpose: |
Client Port / Connections to other clients, Client
to Client Source Exchange |
|
Note: |
4662 is the default port, but other clients may
have different settings. Change the remote port
to any when configuring a firewall
|
3) |
Local Port: |
4672 |
|
Remote Port: |
any |
|
Protocol: |
UDP |
|
Direction: |
incoming |
|
Purpose: |
extended eMule protocol, Queue Rating, File Reask
Ping |
|
Note: |
This port has to be forwarded in a router. Changing
this port in Preferences you must also change the forwarding
in the router.
If you are not able to forward this port check the disable
box in Preferences -> Connection -> UDP Port

4) |
Local Port: |
any |
|
Remote Port: |
4672 |
|
Protocol: |
UDP |
|
Direction: |
outgoing |
|
Purpose: |
extended eMule protocol, Queue Rating, File Reask
Ping |
|
Note: |
4672 is the default port, but other clients may
have different settings. Change the remote port
to any when configuring a firewall |
5) |
Local Port: |
any |
|
Remote Port: |
4661 |
|
Protocol: |
TCP |
|
Direction: |
outgoing |
|
Purpose: |
Connection to server
|
|
Note: |
4661 is the default port of a server. Many server
use different ports. Configuring a firewall the remote
port again changes to any.
|
6) |
Local Port: |
any |
|
Remote Port: |
4665 |
|
Protocol: |
UDP |
|
Direction: |
outgoing / (incoming) |
|
Purpose: |
Source asking on servers , searching for files |
|
Note: |
Servers using the default port 4661 TCP (see #5)
automatically set their port for source asking to 4665
UDP. If a server uses a different port in #5 the corresponding
UDP port is set to [Connection Port + 4]. For firewalls
the remote port here is any.
UDP is a connectionless protocol, i.e. unlike TCP
no connection is kept alive. If a server answers e.g.
a source request this answer is treated as a new connection.
All commonly used routers and firewalls in the home
computer sector perform an UDP connection tracking
therefore it is not necessary to specify an incoming
port for
UDP in the router's or firewall's configuration. More
complex networks, especially if proxy servers are used,
may require to define this local port to configure
the router / firewall / proxy accordingly or to disable
it at all if it is not possible to control them. It
is possible to set this port in Preferences
-> Preferences.ini but
there is usually no need to change it.

Local Port: |
4711 |
|
Remote Port: |
any |
|
Protocol: |
TCP |
|
Direction: |
incoming |
|
Purpose: |
Web Interface |

This is the default port for the web interface. When
using a router this port has to be forwarded or no connection
to the web interface will be possible. |
