Is it safe to open
Cameras and video recorders are among the most hacked devices. Do not forward their ports; use the vendor cloud with 2FA or a VPN, and update firmware.
How to open port 34567
Open to everyone
# Linux iptables iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 34567 -j ACCEPT # Ubuntu ufw ufw allow 34567/tcp # firewalld firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=34567/tcp && firewall-cmd --reload # MikroTik /ip firewall filter add chain=input protocol=tcp dst-port=34567 action=accept place-before=0 comment="port 34567" # Windows (PowerShell) New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Port 34567 TCP" -Direction Inbound -Protocol TCP -LocalPort 34567 -Action Allow
Only for your addresses
# allow only one address or network (replace 203.0.113.0/24) iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 34567 -s 203.0.113.0/24 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 34567 -j DROP ufw allow from 203.0.113.0/24 to any port 34567 proto tcp /ip firewall filter add chain=input protocol=tcp dst-port=34567 src-address=203.0.113.0/24 action=accept /ip firewall filter add chain=input protocol=tcp dst-port=34567 action=drop
If the server is behind a router, you also need a port forward (dst-nat). Behind ISP CGNAT (100.64.0.0/10 on the WAN) forwarding will not help: you need a public IP or a VPN.
