Hi,
I have a somewhat tricky situation whereby 2 devices needing to connect are on different subnets. I’ll try explain in detail my current network topology.
PC (spacedesk server) – 10.10.69.8/24 (Static IP)
iPad (spacedesk iOS client) – 10.10.70.14/24 (DHCP assigned)
I have a firewall application (Kaspersky) on my PC as well as a physical firewall (pfsense) controlling all my subnet traffic and rules.
I added a firewall rule for my iPad’s subnet to allow TCP Port 28252 direct to my PC. Looks like this [ Allow TCP 28252 from 10.10.70.0/24 to 10.10.69.8]. I disabled the application firewall (Kaspersky) for testing purposes so it wouldn’t cause me problems with the rules configured in pfsense.
The PC and iPad can ping each other. I also have an app called Touch Portal on the iPad which allows me to send hotkey commands to my PC, which works fine after adding a similar rule in pfsense, only this time adding 2 ports required by Touch Portal. So I know I am configuring the firewall correctly, but for some reason when I manually add the server IP address in the iPad spacedesk app, it gets stuck on “Manually adding IP: 10.10.69.8. IP validation in progress”.
Are there any other ports I need to add to make this work other than 28252?
Thanks,
