Step 2 – How Should the Firewall Rules be on the Google Cloud Platform?
Indeed, the answer to this question is related to which ports we will use.
The ports that the ant media server default uses are listed below.
- TCP:1935 (RTMP)
- TCP:5080 (HTTP)
- TCP:5443 (HTTPS)
- TCP:5554 (RTSP)
- UDP:5000-65000 (WebRTC and RTSP)
You can create a Firewall Rule from the VPC Network – Firewall Rule – Create Firewall Rule tab.
