Hi, I'm trying to set port forwarding rules for the vghd client to make sure P2P is actually functioning properly. I know it works inbound but can't say for sure about outbound. Which ports are actually needed? Are they always the same or dynamically assigned every program start like some bit torrents programs do?

According to my Traffic Monitoring utility the following are in use:

80, 443, 6881

The program is listening for connections on 6881 so that's probably the one. I don't intend to enable port forwarding for 80 and 443 as they are far to commonly used and therefore potentially more vulnerable.

port 80 is connecting to 216.58.198.14
port 443 to 74.125.26.156

I presume they are Totem servers?

It looks like Google.com is using both of the ip addresses.
This can be seen in the screenshots.

I just clicked the link "What is my ip location?"
It gave me a city location, and I live in that city.

Maybe the website is not entirely accurate.
It shows the virtuagirl website (.com) as being in London, United Kingdom.
It should say Paris, France.

(does Totem have something in London?)

I remember that the Euro servers were moved to London a while ago. We had a couple of hiccups while the changes went thru. If my memory serves correctly, that is ...

maybe google analytics are in use then

I've emailed Totem so if I get an answer I'll share it here for future reference by everyone.
