My firewall is telling me CrashPlan is trying to connect on odd ports. Why is that?
CrashPlan tries to open random ports for listening as part of the rendezvous connection process. At this time there is no way to stop that. It won’t happen if CrashPlan is able to connect to the other CrashPlan computer directly on TCP 4242 (by port forwarding, etc.). We recommend allowing all CrashPlan connections in your firewall.
