Enhance Network Security: Q-Play Player and Editor Protocols Explained

Security and Protocols for Q-Play Systems


Player Configuration

1. Network Connection:

  1. Connect Players directly to the company's internal network without the need to open firewalls, either incoming or outgoing.

2. SSL Security:

  1. Ensure an encrypted connection by only allowing Players to connect to Q-Play's cloud servers via SSL (port 443).

Recommendations for Larger Companies

Isolated Network:

  1. For complex network structures, consider placing Players on a dedicated VLAN to ensure isolation from the company's primary network units.


Firewall Configuration

Essential Ports and Addresses:

    1. DNS lookup: Port 53 (UDP/TCP)
    2. HTTPS connections: Port 443 (TCP)
