Re: Remote Buddy Setup with Firewall

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.
I'm having trouble with this as well. The AJAX remote used to work for me but I hadn't used it in a while. I try to connect to http://hostname.local:8888/ from my iPod touch but it fails. I see this in my firewall log:

Jul 12 12:55:40 hostname Firewall[48]: Deny Remote Buddy connecting from 192.168.1.144:50511 uid = 0 proto=6

I have doublechecked the firewall configuration for Remote Buddy and it looks like it does in the FAQ.

What I don't get is the port number listed in the firewall log. That's definitely not the port I'm trying to connect to.

UPDATE: I deleted the firewall rule and re-added it, then restarted Remote Buddy and it's working again.
