Which ports should be opened to the Internet before I log in to an instance?
Generally, you need to open port 22 for a Linux instance, or port 3389 for a Windows instance. For more information about ports applicable to other instance types, see Security Group Use Cases. Which ports are often used in CVM?
Why should a port be opened to the Internet? How can I open a specific port?
You can use the service only after you open the port to the Internet in the security group. For example:
If you want to access web pages using port 8080, the port must be enabled and opened to the Internet in the security group.
To open a port to the Internet, follow the steps below:
1. Go to the security group page, and click the ID/name of the security group bound with this instance to go to its details page. 2. Select Inbound/Outbound rule and click Add a Rule.
3. Enter your IP address (range) and port to be opened, and then select Allow to open the port.
For more information, see Adding Security Group Rules. How can I change the default remote port of a CVM instance?
Why cannot the service be used after I change the port?
After modifying the service port, you also need to open the corresponding port to the Internet in the security group.
