## Issues reaching servers from HPC infrastructure

If you have to reach license servers from {{ hpcinfra }} systems or you
have to directly load some database here, then it might not work (you will get
network connection timed out or network connection refused error). Our
firewall rules are quite strict, we only allow outging ports 22 (SSH protocol),
80 (HTTP protocol), and 443 (HTTPS protcol), so if your download or license server
requires other ports, then we should make a modification in our firewall settings.
For this, please contact us via <{{ hpcinfo }}>, and send the destination IP and ports.
(We only open our firewall for static IP addresses).

It might be possible, that the other end also has firewall, or the license server restricts
the incoming IP addresses. In this case you need the outgoing IP address of our systems,
which is either `157.193.240.251` (nathpca001.ugent.be) or `157.193.241.251` (nathpcb001.ugent.be).
