Firewall Setup
``````````````
To function correctly, the firewall on the computer running the ipython server must be
configured to allow connections from client machines on the ``c.NotebookApp.port``
port to allow connections to the web interface. The firewall must also allow
connections from 127.0.0.1 (localhost) on ports from 49152 to 65535.
These ports are used by the server to communicate with the notebook kernels.
The kernel communication ports are chosen randomly by ZeroMQ, and may require
multiple connections per kernel, so a large range of ports must be accessible.
