Firewall rules for port 60000–61000

Copy-ready inbound rules for the active transports. Replace every <source> placeholder with the specific host, subnet, or CIDR that should reach this port.

ufw

sudo ufw allow proto udp from <source> to any port 60000:61000

Allow UDP 60000–61000 (Mosh). Replace <source> with the network/host that should reach it.

firewalld

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule family="ipv4" source address="<source>" port port="60000-61000" protocol="udp" accept'

Allow UDP 60000–61000 (Mosh) from <source>. Run 'firewall-cmd --reload' afterwards.

nftables

nft add rule inet filter input ip saddr <source> udp dport 60000-61000 accept

Allow UDP 60000–61000 (Mosh). Assumes table 'inet filter' with an 'input' chain.

iptables

sudo iptables -A INPUT -p udp -s <source> --dport 60000:61000 -j ACCEPT

Allow UDP 60000–61000 (Mosh). Persist with iptables-save/netfilter-persistent.

Azure NSG

az network nsg rule create -g <resource-group> --nsg-name <nsg> -n Allow-mosh-60000-61000 --priority 1000 --access Allow --direction Inbound --protocol UDP --source-address-prefixes <source> --destination-port-ranges 60000-61000

Inbound rule for 60000–61000 (Mosh). Set <source> to a CIDR; lower priority number = higher precedence.

AWS Security Group

aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress --group-id <sg-id> --ip-permissions IpProtocol=udp,FromPort=60000,ToPort=61000,IpRanges="[{CidrIp=<source-cidr>}]"

Inbound UDP 60000–61000 (Mosh). Replace <source-cidr> (e.g. 10.0.0.0/16).

GCP firewall

gcloud compute firewall-rules create allow-mosh-60000-61000 --direction=INGRESS --action=ALLOW --rules=udp:60000-61000 --source-ranges=<source-cidr> --network=<network>

Ingress rule for 60000–61000 (Mosh). Scope with --source-ranges and optionally --target-tags.

Rules are generated only for transports marked active for this port. They default to an inbound allow with an explicit source placeholder — never any. Review direction, scope, and rule precedence before applying in production.
