Firewall settings/Failed to set remote answer

Dear List,

I followed the thread "RE: InvalidStateError: Failed to set remote
answer sdp: Called in wrong state: kStable".
Alain DEVILLE talked about this problem he had with opening up ports
49152:65535/udp for incoming and outgoing traffic.

On Ubuntu 18.04 LTS I installed ufw to set up a firewall.


ufw status verbose   gives:

           
22                         ALLOW IN    Anywhere                 
3478/tcp                   ALLOW IN    Anywhere                 
3478/udp                   ALLOW IN    Anywhere                 
5443/tcp                   ALLOW IN    Anywhere                 
8888/tcp                   ALLOW IN    Anywhere                 
49152:65535/udp            ALLOW IN    Anywhere                 
22 (v6)                    ALLOW IN    Anywhere (v6)            
3478/tcp (v6)              ALLOW IN    Anywhere (v6)            
3478/udp (v6)              ALLOW IN    Anywhere (v6)            
5443/tcp (v6)              ALLOW IN    Anywhere (v6)            
8888/tcp (v6)              ALLOW IN    Anywhere (v6)            
49152:65535/udp (v6)       ALLOW IN    Anywhere (v6)            

49152:65535/udp            ALLOW OUT   Anywhere                 
49152:65535/udp (v6)       ALLOW OUT   Anywhere (v6)  

So I believe they are open.

Using telnet myserver 49152 gives a "trying myserver" until there is a
timeout.

Disabling ufw and telneting again says:


Trying myserver...
telnet: connect to address myserver: Connection refused


Thus the firewall rules make a difference.

Using  sudo nmap -sU -p 49152 myserver


PORT      STATE  SERVICE
49152/udp closed unknown


even if I enabled ufw firewall

This contradicts the telnet result doesn't it ?


The "kStable ....." error still shows up from time to time ....


My questions:


1) How can I test for open ports49152:65535 and be sure about the result?
2) My Provider is Strato. Do I have to contact the provider to open up
the ports for incoming and outgoing udp packages ?
3) Are my firewall rules correct?
I did not manage to find instructions on installing  the  pure iptables
alternative on ubuntu 18.04. I've tried to implement the stuff from the
ALVARO-manual about SSL. This time using ufw.

Many thanks ....

AFAIK coturn listening on port 3478
then necessary port is allocated during negotiation (only if needed)

Re: Firewall settings/Failed to set remote answer

Posted by kaffeesurrogat <ka...@posteo.de>.
Dear List,

i gathered more information:

1) I talked to my provider. They promised, that there is no other
firewall between my VPS and the Internet.

2) Did some more port testing.

On my server i issued (netcat):

ls | nc -l -u -p 49152

that means pipe ls output to nc listening in udp mode on 49152

On my client side:

sudo nmap -sU -p 49152 myserver

The answer was:

PORT      STATE SERVICE
49152/udp open  unknown


Without the pipe through netcat nmap shows me a closed port for 49152
... (coturn) even though coturn is up and running ....

Did i misconfigure my coturn or is coturn opening up the port only if
needed ?


Greeting,

kaffeesurrogat
