Firewall Friendliness

« Browser Compatibility | Main | Setup - Installation »

WebTrain is subject like most other Web conferencing and real-time collaboration systems to issues of security and access especially across corporate firewalls.

WebTrain allows easy configuration and setup of your specific firewall and proxy settings but this generally requires the intervention of your IT administrator if you operate in a medium to large sized company. In all other cases you can manually setup the control panel accessible in the Login screen to reflect the settings of your personal firewall/router/proxy.

The WebTrain client software makes an outbound connection to a WebTrain broadcast server on port 443. If a firewall blocks port 443, the WebTrain client cannot join a meeting.

This connection problem can be resolved by allowing the port 443 traffic through to WebTrain broadcast servers (192.197.107.157 through 192.197.107.189). The firewall rule should be placed before rules which reject incoming/outgoing data due to HTTPS packet filtering.
