Optimizing Your Connection with Brosix
Brosix automatically detects the best option to connect to its servers, so in most cases, you don’t need to configure anything in your firewall or router.
When is Manual Configuration Necessary?
If you use a firewall or router that blocks outgoing connections based on specific rules, you may need to add Brosix server IP addresses to its allowlist.
Required Settings
1. Outgoing TCP Connections
Allow outgoing connections to the following ports for all Brosix servers:
- Ports: 80, 443, 5222, 7150, 7151, 8150, 9150, 10150, 11150
2. UDP Connections
- Outgoing: Allow all outgoing UDP connections to all Brosix servers on any port.
- Incoming: Allow incoming UDP connections from all Brosix servers on any port.
Server IP Addresses
Here are the IP addresses of Brosix servers:
144.202.71.78
8.9.8.116
144.202.67.13
207.246.94.141
206.189.232.76
149.28.39.134
161.35.50.2
159.65.228.11
We Recommend Using Hostnames
For easier future management, we advise using Brosix hostnames instead of IP addresses when creating firewall rules. This approach minimizes the need for adjustments as our server infrastructure grows and evolves.
Here are the hostnames:
www.brosix.com
db.brosix.com
db2.brosix.com
box-n2.brosix.com
box-n2-ls.brosix.com
stun.brosix.com
Additional Recommendation
If your router supports UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) and you enable it for all computers in your local network, this can significantly improve connection speed.
