This article describes the networking requirements for using Windows Admin Center to manage your servers and clusters.
Networking configuration
Windows Admin Center communicates outbound securely to endpoints over TCP port 443. By default, the Windows Admin Center gateway and browser use the default route to the internet to perform actions. You can optionally configure the gateway to use a proxy server if your network requires it.
You need to open endpoints on two sources:
- Gateway: This server or client machine is where you install the Windows Admin Center gateway (.exe).
- Browser: This machine is where you access the Windows Admin Center web service.
If your firewall or proxy server restricts outbound connectivity, make sure that it doesn't block the URLs listed in the following section.
