SW:TOR and firewall ports

[Amodin]

Good morning,

As all of you are excited that the game has started for some today with Early Access, some of my fellow advanced users may have issues with connecting to the game. This might be in fact due to a firewall we use other than Windows Firewall.

During my beta time, I have seen them change firewall ports at least twice during my tenure in beta weekends. I managed to track them down and post them for the beta users so that they could modify their rules for the firewalls.

I personally use Astaro at my home and it can be extremely specific. I know some users even use Cisco PIX at home. Boys and their IT toys...

At any rate, this is the information I have so far, and I had to identify TCP and UDP ports:

UDP 3479
TCP 8995
TCP 2870:2871
TCP 12000:12300
TCP 20000:20099

This was analyzing the traffic that was hitting my firewall. Opening the ranges during beta allowed me access to the game. So, if you have issues connecting, please check your firewall ports accordingly.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, for this. When I get into early access, I will try my best to confirm these ports. Perhaps BioWare, may provide the ports to the public? - It'd be a good idea.

You can most certainly try - I did in beta. They didn't respond to my request and I had lost two days of play because of this - the first time playing, I had to research all the ports Astaro was blocking, then the second time was during the second beta when they made changes to the ports.
