Hi All,

 

My arlo base station for Arlo Ultra wont connect when placed behind firewall (Palo Alto). I have opened the following

 

- icmp

- dns

- ntp

- ping

- http, https

 

When check logs, I see only DNS traffic and pings from base station. If I bypass firewall and connect base station directly to DSL, it works. Any suggestions??

You need ports 80, 123 and 443 open to arlo.com to work.

Yeah, but he already has those open (http, ntp, https).  FWIW, you also do need DNS (which he also has open).

Can you compare what's happening with the firewall bypassed?  That might give you some clue on what's going on.

 

Is it possible that the firewall rules are blocking traffic to/from the amazon cloud?

Apologies for delayed response. I checked the firewall logs and there are no logs for traffic drop. I also tried to create  a permit all policy on firewall (permit ip any any) however still the same
