[solved] How to open ports for software?

I have these guidelines for a web interface call manager:

Additionally you need to allow the traffic towards:
UDP: 54.229.161.68 6060
UDP: 20000 - 30000
HTTPS

I'm using Chromium.

How do I open these ports and ip through UDP?

Thanks

Does your machine have a local firewall?  Is it part of a Local Area Network (LAN)
Are you trying to reach that machine from your LAN, or do you want to be able to reach it from the Internet?
Do you have administrative rights on the router that bridges your LAN to the Internet?

Yes, it has a local firewall and connects through wifi. I need to reach this IP through the internet.

I have administrative rights to everything on my computer and access to the router.

Thanks

Can you hit those ports from other machines on the LAN?  If not, you have to get that working first

To reach from the Internet, you need to go into the router and configure it to forward those ports.  Your router probably has a web interface.  Poke around that interface for NAT or port forwarding.  You will need to set the range of ports on the Internet side, a range of ports to map to on the LAN side (can be the same as the Internet side) and the IP of the computer to which to forward those ports -- your server.

Okay, thanks very much. I've done this before, what I'm mainly confused about is the fact that it states an IP address. IIRC it's just a port forwarding feature and no way of adding an IP specific forwarding. Or could I be mistaken?

Thanks

When you forward a port, you have to specify the IP address that you're forwarding *to*.
