Which ports need to be open for Backup Manager so I can access the backup-console remotely and allow full access to cloud nodes?

The following ports must be open for inbound and outbound communication to the Backup Manager:
- Port 443 TCP - It is almost always open on workstations but may be closed on servers
- Local port 5000 - If this port is unavailable, the Backup Manager detects a free port automatically (starting from 5001, 5002 and up)
- Local port 15000 - If using this port and multiple restores running on the device, then the port number should be updated to 15000 + n where n is the number of restores running
The DNS must be allowed if router or firewall rules are in place to allow full communication to all storage nodes:
- *.cloudbackup.management
- *.iaso.com
- *.backup.management
- *.mob.system-monitor.com
Any Geoblocking should also be configured except for the Netherlands
