View Agent (for Horizon 6), Horizon Agent (for Horizon 7), and Horizon Client use TCP and UDP ports for network access between each other and various View server components.

| View Agent/Horizon Agent | * | View Connection Server | 4001, 4002 | TCP | JMS SSL traffic. |
| View Agent/Horizon Agent | 4172 | Horizon Client | * | UDP | PCoIP, if PCoIP Secure Gateway is not used. Note:Because the target port varies, see the note below this table. |
| View Agent/Horizon Agent | 4172 | View Connection Server, security server, or Access Point appliance | 55000 | UDP | PCoIP (not SALSA20) if 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 will pick 50003. If port 50003 is in use, the agent will pick 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 | * | View Connection Server, security server, or Access Point appliance | 443 | TCP | HTTPS for logging in to View. (This port is also used for tunnelling when tunnel connections are used.) Note:Horizon Client 4.4 and later supports UDP port 443 (see below). |
| Horizon Client 4.4 or later | * | Access Point appliance 2.9 or later | 443 | UDP | HTTPS for logging into View, if Blast Secure Gateway is used and UDP Tunnel Server is enabled. (This port is also used for tunnelling when tunnel connections are used.) |
| Access Point appliance 2.9 or later | 443 | Horizon Client 4.4 or later | * | UDP | HTTPS for logging into View, if Blast Secure Gateway is used and UDP Tunnel Server is enabled. (This port is also used for tunnelling when tunnel connections are used.) |
| Horizon Client | * | View Agent/Horizon Agent | 22443 | TCP | HTML Access and VMware Blast Extreme if Blast Secure Gateway is not used. |
