I setup two TrueNAS SCALE systems. I have wireguard on the first connectect to pfSense at the target. Been watching the FW logs sent to a syslog box to reverse the ports required to make this work. I have been watching either failed replication jobs or syslog traffic. Is there a place that lists each service and the port ranges required or setting that can limit the ports used by each service to match FW setup via both wireguard and the target FW rules on the pfSense? I found that 22 is required for Replication Tasks, with another port that started at 1024 and incrementing up until it finds a way to talk. Any pointers would really help.
Is this a firewall blocking internal traffic? You should not open WAN facing ports for these services unless you want to get hacked.
22 is the SSH port, by default replication uses SSH to transfer data.
If you want to know what port a service uses, just google it. The term “ssh port” and “truenas replication port” both show that port 22 is used.

@neofusion - thank you for the reply.
Yes it is an internal firewall. This is not open to the internet.
When I only have port 22 open trueNAS fails to replicate.
Do you know of a document of what ports are required?
Thank you
