Firewall Friendliness

« Browser Compatibility | Main | Setup - Installation »

eBLVD is firewall friendly. It generates only HTTP/TCP traffic through ports 80 or 443.

Because most firewalls are already configured to permit Web traffic over these ports, you won't have to bypass or compromise your corporate, branch office or remote firewall to implement secure remote access with eBLVD.

Many other web-conferencing solutions require applets to receive incoming packets at a public IP address. The eBLVD applet sends an outgoing HTTP "update" to the eBLVD RELAY at regular intervals, checking to see if any connect requests have been received.

This makes eBLVD completely compatible with application proxy firewalls,
dynamic IP addresses, and network/port address translation (NAT/PAT).

However, companies that need to can control eBLVD traffic by simply filtering on the eBLVD RELAY IP address or subnet.

eBLVD is compatible with:

  • Firewalls
  • Routers
  • Proxy Servers
  • NAT/PAT
  • DHCP assigned PCs
  • Dual-NIC PCs

    Fore more information please see the eBLVD Security Guide (PDF 6 pages).
