Re: [hylafax-users] whfc, faq #3 "WHFC hangs", vpn

[Jeff Herring <jeffh@sldsi.com>]

Although I didn't investigate fully...Just an observation...
Many clients of ours have firewalls/VPN boxes that will block
all IP ports and permit just a few...Are your HylaFAX ports (4559, etc.)
being allowed to pass through the VPN/firewall?
