Genymotion Desktop and firewalls
Audience
The article targets Genymotion Desktop users and IT administrators responsible for firewall configuration.
Internet connection
Genymotion Desktop requires an Internet connection to verify credentials. Genymotion Desktop requires an Internet connection to download the virtual device images. If a firewall is restrictive, ensure the following ports and domains are allowed:
- Allow outgoing TCP port 80 and 443 on *.genymotion.com
- Allow outgoing TCP port 80 and 443 on *.geny.io
Local network connection
VirtualBox
When using the VirtualBox hypervisor, Genymotion Desktop must connect locally to the virtual device via the local network. To do so, a virtual host-only network card is created and configured.
If you have a firewall, authorize connections to Genymotion Desktop and all its virtual network adapters:
- Allow genymotion.exe and player.exe to communicate with vboxmanage.exe
- Allow IP range 192.168.56.0/24
- Allow connections to local port 5555
QEMU
When using the QEMU hypervisor, Genymotion Desktop uses the following local ports to connect to QEMU:
- 5555 (ADB)
- 6379 (REDIS)
- 24297 (Audio)
- 24810 (Audio)
- 24800 (Camera)
- 25000 (Render)
- 22468 (Render)
Make sure that the firewall allows local connections to these ports. Alternatively, allow all local ports.
