yes, you’re right - no udp port 5062 open - though 5060 is open??
how do i change port 5060 to ne 5062 or open up port 5062 - is this done at iptables level?
i have been trying to play about with iptables to add in these ports to no avail.
even stopped the iptables service
is there some other config/firewall rules i need to update - if so could you give us pointer on how to update this?
i’m very new to linux and the iptables are a bit baffling to us at the moment.
thank you very much!
p.s. sorry for posting twice, i didnlt realise the forums were all linked to a single view
