In the past we have used a PDF developed many years ago with the bare minimum of ports that needed to be open for the StarBox® Voice Optimized SD-WAN to work. As we increasingly use more ports, we should have a clear understanding on what needs to be open in order for the entire Star2Star system to function correctly.
