iPhone Push Notifications

[Peter Myers]

From Help ""As the notification is sent via contact with either an Apple or Google web server, you must
ensure that the BlueIris.exe file has access through any firewall or other security software.
In addition, as notifications to Apple require a security certificate that’s renewed annually,
you should always ensure the software is up-to-date to retain this functionality. ""

so.. First, 'ensure blueiris.exe' has access through firewall..soo.. do we need to allow communication to a specific port or just give that file all unrestriced access? im not sure what that means...

TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products

Learn about TCP and UDP ports used by Apple products such as macOS, and iCloud. Many of these are well-known, industry-standard ports.

There are many different ports apple uses. i guess im looking for a little clarity

Secondly "security certificate that's renewed annually" ok.. is that with blue iris, apple or iphone? again i am just not clear on this..

any advice or input is greatly appreciated as always! Thanks

TCP port 2195 is used for Apple Push notifications.

ok. I will have to look up on if that would be a firewall rule or what.. not sure if that port needs to talk to my blue iris server or what.

Thanks for that bit of info though.. it does help.
