# Incoming and Outgoing Ports on EDIS Global VPS

> EDIS Global VPS plans never block incoming or outgoing TCP/UDP ports. Configure firewall rules inside your VPS — no provider-side opening needed.

## 🔓 Does EDIS Global block or restrict ports?

No.

EDIS Global does not block, filter, or restrict incoming or outgoing TCP/UDP ports on VPS services.

Your VPS is connected directly to the network through a virtual Ethernet interface and bridge. There are no provider-side firewalls, NAT layers, or port restrictions in between that would require ports to be "opened" manually by EDIS Global staff.

If you need to use a specific port such as:

* `1080`
* `8080`
* `443`
* `25565`
* `3389`
* `51820`

or any other TCP/UDP port, you simply need to configure your software or operating system to listen on that port.

<Note>
  **Exception: Port 25 (SMTP).** Outbound traffic on port `25` is rate-limited by default. We apply this rate limit to protect both our network and our customers from the negative impacts of spamming activities. For more details see our [Port 25 SMTP Rate Limit Policy](/faq/port-25-smtp-rate-limit-policy#port-25-smtp-rate-limit-policy).
</Note>

## ⚙️ What do you need to do?

Port accessibility is entirely managed inside your VPS operating system.

Typical requirements include:

* Configuring your application to bind to the desired port
* Ensuring your software is actively listening on the port
* Allowing the port in your operating system firewall
* Verifying that the service is running correctly

Examples:

* Configure Nginx or Apache to listen on port `443`
* Configure a SOCKS proxy on port `1080`
* Configure WireGuard on port `51820`
* Configure Remote Desktop on port `3389`

No action from EDIS Global is required.

## 🛡️ Operating system firewalls

Some operating systems enable local firewalls by default.

Examples:

### Linux

* `ufw`
* `iptables`
* `nftables`
* `firewalld`

### Windows

* Windows Defender Firewall

You may need to allow the desired port locally inside the VPS.

***

## 🌍 Government or ISP restrictions

Please note that EDIS Global has no control over restrictions imposed by:

* Governments
* National regulators
* ISPs
* Mobile carriers
* Corporate firewalls

In some countries or networks, specific ports, protocols, or IP ranges may be filtered or blocked externally.

Such restrictions occur outside of EDIS Global infrastructure and cannot be modified or bypassed by EDIS Global.

## 🔎 How to verify if a port is listening

### Linux

Check listening ports:

```bash theme={"system"}
ss -tulpen
```

or:

```bash theme={"system"}
netstat -tulpen
```

### Windows

Open PowerShell:

```powershell theme={"system"}
netstat -ano
```

***

## 🧪 Testing connectivity

You can test whether a service is reachable using tools such as:

* `telnet`
* `nc` (netcat)
* `curl`
* external port checkers
* another VPS/server

Example:

```bash theme={"system"}
nc -zv your-ip-address 1080
```

## 📌 Important note

EDIS Global provides infrastructure-level connectivity only.

Application setup, proxy configuration, firewall management, and software troubleshooting inside the VPS remain fully customer-managed.
