Firewall from HomeAssistant (VLAN) to Frigate (LAN)

[johnv]

Hi Guys,

I have Home Assistant on a VM in a IOT VLAN and Frigate on docker on the LAN, however I am not able to create a rule to allow Home Assistant to reach out to Frigate.

I created this RULE with these ports:
5357 445 9443 1883 5000 8554 8555 1935 8000 8123 443

but does not work.

However it works if I replace the port with ANY (empty), am I missing some ports?

Thanks

John

Those appear to be port forward/redirects.

You want standard traffic rules.

I think its actually a traffic rule from the list:

[psherman]

remove the source ports entirely.

[johnv]

Yes, works perfectly!

so why it was not working?

Because you cannot know the source port in advance. A client connects to a specific IP/port combination from a random source port. This is basically how the client's operating system knows which packets belong to which application.
