Hi,
I am trying to get a program working and it doesn't seem to connect to anything online (that's what I've been told by the software company anyway).
When I raised this matter with them they said that I should make sure that my Firewall is off (tried that), and that my router doesn't have any blocked ports.
... Does PlusNet block ports?
On this thread a staff member (Gandalf) suggests that they don't, but this thread was almost 3 years ago.
https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/Blocked-Ports/td-p/1553048
Can anyone please give me an update on this? I have a basic broadband account.
Thanks
Fixed! Go to the fix.

@Tobias1 The simple answer to your topic title is 'Yes'.
What program are you trying to install, and what is/are the specific problems?

Does that include your Plusnet Account firewall as well as the hub's?

Isn't having the hub firewall 'off' a bit dangerous?

Thanks for replying..
The program is installed on my Mac, OS 10.9.5 Mavericks. It opens fine, but according the program's Support staff, it is having problems connecting.
The program is called Craft Inspector.
Here are 3 screenshots. My Mac firewall is Off while I try it.

Actually no, I didn't look at this.
I've just check it, here is my PlusNet Firewall status.

This is no longer valid, as it is trying to make a connection the firewall doesn't come into it.

Thanks @dvorak
Re TLS1... please can you elaborate?
And, I'm afraid I cannot use anything more recent than mavericks, my hardware won't take it. It's a hackintosh (2014), DIY mac using an intel processor.

Thanks @Baldrick1 @jab1 .. yes, I think it does seem a bit dangerous.
I don't really want to use the computer without a firewall.
The software devs App Breed state that it should work for an OS older than the one I'm using... but it just doesn't seem to work.

If you google the error 1409442E you'll see lots of issues around not related to any one OS or application.
There is a bit of vagueness about what TLS mavericks will support, in theory it will support 1.2 but not 1.3.
And with a hackintosh that's a different world of pain.
