Inbound Ports Needed

[GoHerdIBG]

I am new to XenForo. I am using a hosting provider and wanted to know what ports are required to be open inbound for XenForo to operate correctly. I know I obviously need 80 and 443. Do I need the following open:

25/SMTP: Can't see where I would need to accept inbound mail
IMAP/POP3: I host my email at another provider and do not know where XF would use these
FTP: I push my files to the server using SFTP

I am trying to tighten things up but want to make sure the application will still function as expected.

I just noticed the Server configuration forum. Feel free to move that forum if more appropriate.

Thanks for any assistance.

Note that in terms of inbound stuff, XF is a web app. It works though your web server, so whatever ports want for that (normally 80 and 443) are really it. Other ports would depend on the other services you want externally accessible on your server.

If you're using a webserver that supports QUIC (Litespeed for example) make sure you open 80/443 UDP to take advantage of it.
