Hi, I was wondering what ports are used by the client that connects to the gateway so that we can firewall our system as tight as possible. Regards, Michael ---

Assuming you’ve used the default ports, it uses 8088 for regular HTTP traffic and 8043 if you’ve enabled SSL/TLS. Note that you need both ports open when you’ve enabled SSL/TLS, not just 8043. ---

Just to check, because I didn’t mention it, these are the ports that the weblaunched client and weblaunched developer environment use too? ---
