Note
titleAbout this page
  • You must read this entire section to ensure that you configure your firewall correctly.
  • Inbound and outbound traffic terminology:
    • Inbound describes traffic from VCC.
    • Outbound describes traffic to VCC.

We recommend adding the appropriate URLs and IP addresses to any firewall rules that restrict employee access, and we request that you treat Vonage Contact Center as a business-critical application. By this, we mean optimizing and prioritizing IP traffic to Vonage Contact Center over other non-critical traffic. This is to ensure real-time responses to agent requests are processed in a timely and efficient manner (call steering buttons, call transfers, hold requests, and so on).

You should also review any IP packet inspection or local caching policies to optimize the user experience.

Ports

Outbound

All inbound and outbound traffic requires TCP port 443 (HTTPS). Responses are sent to a range of ephemeral ports. This requirement applies to:

  • VCC traffic, regardless of whether you use URL or IP allowlisting
  • VCC APIs
  • WebRTC traffic (see WebRTC sections later in this page for information about other ports required for WebRTC traffic)
  • All other third-party traffic (Amplitude, Cloudfront, and NewRelic)

SFTP access to call recordings requires TCP port 44044.

Inbound

All inbound traffic requires port 22access to destination TCP port 443 (HTTPS) on our servers to establish a connection. Responses are sent to a range of ephemeral ports.

Virtual private network (VPN)

We recommend using a split tunnel configuration to ensure that traffic—especially voice traffic—to Vonage services is routed directly from the end user to our platform and not through a VPN. We do not recommend tunneling voice connectivity through a VPN tunnel due to the potential adverse effect on voice quality.
