## Issues reaching servers from HPC infrastructure
296+
297+
If you have to reach license servers from {{ hpcinfra }} systems or you
298+
have to directly load some database here, then it might not work (you will get
299+
network connection timed out or network connection refused error). Our
300+
firewall rules are quite strict, we only allow outging ports 22 (SSH protocol),
301+
80 (HTTP protocol), and 443 (HTTPS protcol), so if your download or license server
302+
requires other ports, then we should make a modification in our firewall settings.
303+
For this, please contact us via <{{ hpcinfo }}>, and send the destination IP and ports.
304+
(We only open our fireall for static IP addresses).
305+
306+
It might possible, that the other end has also firewall, or the license server restricts
307+
the incoming IP addresses. In this case you need the outgoing IP address of our systems,
308+
which is either `157.193.240.251` (nathpca001.ugent.be) or `157.193.241.251` (nathpcb001.ugent.be).
