How to disable firewall on my dedicated server

[alisaeed101]

Hello guys, I need help in configuring my firewall to accept incoming and outgoing on 1935 port (used for streaming) . I have installed a media server on my dedicated server and have an application running on server which creates flv files on media server. I need to play those files from my android app but it appears that my firewall is blocking rtmp port i.e. 1935.

I have planned to:
1. Turn off the firewall and then check if the files is played via rtmp://serverip/path to file.flv
2. if step 1 works then i need to configure firewall settings to let packets to and from on the port 1935

Thanks and Regards

Hello

I recommend using a third-party firewall such as CSF if you are not familiar with manually modifying your iptables firewall rules. You can find CSF at:

ConfigServer Firewall

Thank you.

Agreed, it is a great firewall. They offer other good things for your server as well.
