ViP722 - Sling adapter --tcp / udp port number

[don_b]

Hi,
Does anybody know what port number is the DVR listening on?
I have it hooked up to my DD-WRT enabled router.

The dd-wrt router has UPnP disabled.

I can access the dvr from android phone as well as dishanywhere.com and use it to reboot the dvr, control programming on it etc.

I was wondering what is the port number it listens on?

I have a openVPN server running on my DDWRT.
Is it possible to setup the DVR such that the DVR can be controlled only when a VPN client is connected to my server?

Maryb told me that they use 80, 443, and 5678.

sorry, I am a novice in the world of networking but ..I dont understand how dish receiver with sling adapter works along side dishanywhere.com??

I haven't set UPnP to enabled on my router.. yet, when login into dishanywhere.com, I can see that my receiver is active (green status).

Are these outbound ports? is it udp or tcp?

When i use a portscanner and scan to see if my router to listening on these ports, I get a negative response.

How does dishanywhere know that my receiver is active? is the receiver sending data packets to dishanywhere server saying that it is alive?

I can control my DVR from dishanywhere (i.e. change channels, set recordings, reboot the receiver). this means that the dishanywhere.com site is sending packets to the DVR on some port? what port is that?

bottom line.. I want to know if there would be any network security issues.
