Ports to be Allowed for Remote Administration in firewall

Ports that need to be allowed in firewall for remote administration are listed below:

1. Communication on TCP port number 80
For downloading AVG updates from the internet to the AVG Admin Server UpdateProxy, it is necessary to permit outgoing communication for these components on TCP port 80.

For successful connection between AVG Admin Server and stations, you also need to allow other ports on your router/firewall/hub/VPN or other type of relevant connection type, hardware or software:

2. TCP Port 4158
For basic communication between the AVG Admin Server, the AVG clients and the AVG Admin console, you need to allow TCP port 4158 (predefined by default).

This port can be changed in the AVG Admin Server configuration and in the AVG User Interface on the station (via upper menu Tools -> Advanced Settings –> Remote Administration).

3. TCP Port 6051
This port is used for seding of messages between the AVG Admin Console and the AVG client. This port can be changed within the AVG User Interface on the station (via upper menu Tools -> Advanced Settings –> Remote Administration group).

4. TCP Port 6054
This port is used for sending of messages between the AVG Admin Console and the AVG Admin Server. This port is not configurable. AVG Admin Console tries to open this port automatically for listening, if the port is not available, it tries to open subsequent ports (6055, 6056, …) until it successfully finds an available one.

Note:
Please note that it is necessary to allow the communication in both directions.
