port forwarding

I've been following the "Ubuntu Server 11.10, 12.xx, 13.04 x32/x64 - Auto Oscam/CCcam 2.1.3 Install" TUT

I'm at the step before adding my card reader, but I want to make sure every thing is running as it should be at this point.

I've been trying to find the answers to a few things, but I'm going round in circles, So I've a few questions.

1st, Do I need to open/port forward all ports I choose in my config files? not just the server listen port?

thanks.

Apart from communicating with your peers through server listen port, you shouldn´t have any other EXTERNAL ports open.
Unless you are transcoding/ streaming or similar..
Port 80 or 8888 , for example are internal reading so no need to open on the router.
So which other ports are you forwarding externally?

Cheers for the info.

I had the listen port open and also the default port 10000 to use N line, but after I clised the 1000 port the N line stopred working.

I didn't actually open any other ports, I just didn't know if I should or not besause I couldn't find any info to say eather way.

just the server listen port so that users/peers can connect to your server apart from that nothing. Then if you want to access the web interface from outside your home network or not open the ports of oscam or cccam webinfo

That interests me. I've opened the ports oscam or cccam webinfo to try this, how to I access this? http://myip,192.168.0.3:port or http://mydyn.com,192.168.0.3:port ??????

http://myip:port or http://mydyn.com:port

for the other query it is better to post the config (remove any passwords)

thanks that work easy enough.

My Nline works when I have the port open but not when closed.

Is there any difference between the C-line and the N-line, for the end user or security?

I was planning in giving my friends a N-line, is this the best option?
