Horizon Agent and Horizon Client use TCP and UDP ports for network access between each other and certain server components.
You can find addtional information on this topic in Network Ports in VMware Horizon.

|
| Horizon Agent | 4172 | Connection Server or Unified Access Gateway appliance | 55000 | UDP | PCoIP (not SALSA20) when PCoIP Secure Gateway is used. |
Note: The UDP port number that agents use for PCoIP might change. If port 50002 is in use, the agent uses port 50003. If port 50003 is in use, the agent uses port 50004, and so on. You must configure firewalls with
ANY where an asterisk (*) is listed in the table.
| Source | Port | Target | Port | Protocol | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Horizon Client | * | Connection Server or Unified Access Gateway appliance | 443 | TCP | HTTPS for logging in to VMware Horizon. This port is also used for tunneling when tunnel connections are used.
Note:
Horizon Client supports UDP port 443.
|
| Horizon Client | * | Unified Access Gateway appliance | 443 | UDP | HTTPS for logging into VMware Horizon when Blast Secure Gateway is used and UDP Tunnel Server is enabled. This port is also used for tunneling when tunnel connections are used. |
