VMWare Blast - Web browsing - required ports and protocols to be open on firewalls

Good Afternoon,

I have been asked to gain access using my web browser to a virtual desktop through VMWare Blast. (Apologies its very vague)

I require to get through two firewalls, I would be very grateful if someone could assist me by advising me what ports and protocols I require to get opened on the firewalls.

I have upgraded my web browser to IE10.

Are there any other actions that are required other than a HTML5 web browser and firewall exceptions?

Do I have to put a port number at the end of my URL when browsing to virtual desktop?

Thank you for your time.

You don't have to specify any ports in URL. Here is the diagram. Let me know if that helps

Would I only request TCP 22443 as a firewall exception?

Or as I am browsing would it also be TCP 80 too?

On this diagram it reads as all I need to open is:

Port 443 / TCP

Port 8443 / TCP

External - HTML Blast Client


I will give it ago on Monday, if anyone has any further assistance prior to Monday I would be very grateful.


Thank you for your time.
