You should never EVER EVER allow internet access to your miners, they will be hacked within minutes.

Listen to Fanatic26.  He speaks the truth.  You do not need to open any ports for your miners to work just fine.

If you have a firewall then you should be able to set up a VPN. Once that's done you connect to the VPN from your phone, laptop, desktop, etc and **then** connect to the miners.

Never open ports between the Internet and your miners. If do need to access them from outside your network, set up a VPN.
