How To Disable Firewalls

Firewalls on your PC are known to interfere with servers, including FuguHub. It is not necessary to have a firewall when you have a router such as D-Link or Linksys -- a router serves as a firewall. By default, all services are blocked by your router.

In addition, Norton Firewall, McAfee Firewall, etc, add additional limitations. See below for more information.

Note: Do not disable your firewall if your PC is directly connected to the Internet. Instead, carefully read your firewall documentation to find out how to allow the ports used by FuguHub.
