SL router ports?

[KristalTear Whitfield]

Hello, what ports must I open for Second Life? Thanks :)

Phoenix/Firestorm uses port 3128 by default.  I suspect that the same is true for other viewers, but I do not know.

If you are referring to a router with a firewall, then you may need to open quite a few.

In addition to the standard ports for DNS lookup and web access, the Second Life Viewer requires the ports listed in the following table.

Port	Protocol	Used For
53	UDP and TCP	DNS lookup
80	TCP	Second Life web resources
443	TCP	Second Life web resources/client authentication
3478	UDP	Voice/STUN traffic
3479	UDP	Voice/STUN traffic
5060	UDP	Voice/SIP traffic
5062	UDP	Voice/SIP traffic
12000-29999	UDP	Voice/RTP traffic/Core protocol communication ** (see note below)
12043	UDP and TCP	Capabilities/map services/simulator communication
12046	TCP	Texture downloading
21002	TCP	Voice signaling

Notes:

• RTP: Real-time Transport Protocol
• SIP: Session Initiation Protocol
• ** Voice used to only require ports 12000-17000 UDP while Second Life needed 13000-13050 UDP. This combined range satisfies both requirements for UDP traffic.

you don't need to open any ports for SL to work, it should work with any default configuration.

as Alexios Donardson said its not needed to be able to play, but it can significantly reduce lag or even stop most crashes especially on strained servers, afcourse if something goes wrong on the other side of the traffic, aint much u can do then lower your script count and maybe stand stil not using nearby chat (lol) if your having connection iseus, this is a good way to start reducing the problems u might have.
