How to setup Bitdefender to allow Milestone XProtect through from External addresses
I am able to use XProtect when the firewall is off. I have followed the Milestone recommendations as best as I can using the limited options in Bitdefender Firewall settings. Noting I have tried is working. Here is the input from Milestone:
The XProtect® Corporate and XProtect® Expert Administrator's manuals explain which ports the products use. However, Windows Firewall also allows you to create exceptions for specific programs. This article describes which applications should have exceptions in Windows Firewall. This article assumes that the Management Server hosts the Event Server.
On the Management Server:
- C:\Program Files\Milestone\XProtect Management Server\VideoOS.Server.Service.exe
- C:\Program Files\Milestone\XProtect Event Server\VideoOS.Event.Server.exe
- World Wide Web Services (HTTP)
On Recording Servers:
- C:\Program Files\Milestone\XProtect Recording Server\VideoOS.Recorder.Service.exe
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Milestone\XProtect Recording Server\Drivers\NativeDrivers\proxysrv\ProxySrv.exe
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Milestone\XProtect Recording Server\Drivers\NativeDrivers\proxysrv\DeviceDiscoveryProxySrv.exe
On Failover Servers:
- The Recording Server and Device Pack executables above plus C:\Program Files\Milestone\XProtect Recording Server\VideoOS.Failover.Service.exe
On all Servers:
- C:\Program Files\Milestone\XProtect Data Collector Server\VideoOS.DataCollector.Service.exe
On XProtect® Smart Clients when you use Matrix view elements:
- C:\Program Files\Milestone\XProtect Smart Client\Client.exe
