Firewall

From FON Wiki Beta

If you install your La Fonera behind a Firewall that limits outgoing connections then it is necessary to make sure your La Fonera can access the following ports on the internet:

Port 	Protocol  Description
  53   UDP       FON DNS
  80   TCP       Fonera Website / Portal for payments etc.
 123   UDP       Fonera Clock synchronisation
 443   TCP       Portal for payments etc.
1645   UDP       Radius authentication
1812   UDP       Radius authentication
1813   UDP       Radius authentication
1937   TCP       Fon heartbeat and updates
1938   TCP       Fon heartbeat and updates
3990   TCP       Coofachilli port normally internal but may be needed depending on firewall/router

To make sure you don't have to configure/install a Radius/Webserver locally, FON is offering free access to it's serverpark providing these services. You only have to allow your La Fonera to reach them through your firewall. You can't limit these services only to an ip-pool of *.FON.COM; hence FON has also backup servers elsewhere and allow eg access to Paypal, youtube, Google, Gmail, Flickr, ...

La Fonera cannot be configured to use a WebProxy. We advise to "whitelist" your La Fonera on Mac/Fixed Ip adress so it can be used without the configuration of a Proxy. If you can not configure your Webproxy you will need to obtain a standalone internet connection without such security. We assume if such security is present then your ICT Policy won't allow a service like La Fonera to exist in your Network at all! If you became a Fonera without obeying your ICT Policy then give the La Fonera to someone who can install it without breaking Company law!
