Seems the first step if it is not already setup is to configure you adapter to be on a zone for which you will configure ports. If that's already done move on.

Allowed Services -> Advanced to manually enter ports (not sure if calibre uses tpc or udp or both)

Unlike rsync, or KDE Connect, there is no option to automatically allow the Calibre ebook manager to open ports so external devices can connect to it. So far, my solution has been to disable the firewall before connecting my device to Calibre via the Calibre Companion app on Android.

For those unfamiliar with the process, Calibre Companion can sync ebooks from the desktop's library to the Android device's library, thus eliminating the need for wires and further organization of books.

If I know I am using port 9090 for Calibre, is there a way to allow this connection in the Firewall? Has anyone else attempted this setup?

Running netstat shows this additional parameter enabled when my tablet is connected to the computer.

Thanks for the guide. I have tried manually opening tcp port 9090 as calibre asks for, and it didn't work. I am basing the 9090 number on the Connect/share

Start wireless device connection in calibre.

I have created the services config file as well, but this time, opening a range of ports on TCP, UDP and Broadcast.

Just to make sure, after saving this file did you run `yast firewall` and add the new 'calibre' service to the list of allowed services? This file only makes the firewall module aware of the module, it does not generate the iptables rules.

If in doubt, use `iptables -L -v` to verify that the rules are indeed applied.

Yes, I did enable the service in YaST. Then confirmed it was still not working because of the firewall. I have also restarted the machine after applying the new rules.

FYI, that can be condensed as

TCP="9000:9090"

Robert

Thanks. That does condense the coding significantly. Incidentally, I should mention I created a temporary shared wireless network from my computer, meaning my tablet was connected to the computer's network without going through a router.

Then my only recommendation is to experiment with iptables and find out which changes you need to perform, and then translate them into a config file like the one I suggested.

It's been close to a year, and I have finally figured out how to get Calibre and Calibre Companion to communicate through the Firewall. I have something further to add, which is that Calibre's debug mode gives the following output when I attempt to set up a wireless device connection: --- SMART_DEV ( 0.00: 0.001) _attach_to_port try ip address "" on port 9045 SMART_DEV ( 0.88: 0.825) startup_on_demand listening on port 9045 SMART_DEV ( 0.88: 0.001) _attach_to_port try ip address "" on port 54982 SMART_DEV ( 0.88: 0.000) startup_on_demand broadcast socket listening on port 54982 SMART_DEV ( 1.89: 1.005) run All IP addresses {'lo': [{'peer': '127.0.0.1', 'netmask': '255.0.0.0', 'addr': '127.0.0.1'}], 'enp5s0': [{'broadcast': '192.168.2.255', 'netmask': '255.255.255.0', 'addr': '192.168.2.6'}], 'tun0': [{'peer': '10.10.19.255', 'netmask': '255.255.252.0', 'addr': '10.10.16.78'}]} --- I have alread set up the following module as described in the last few emails in this thread. --- ## Name: calibre ## Description: Open ports for Calibre Companion # space separated list of allowed TCP ports TCP= "8080 9045 9090 54982" # space separated list of allowed UDP ports UDP= "8080 9045 9090 54982" # space separated list of allowed UDP ports that accept broadcasts BROADCAST= "8080 9045 9090 54982" --- My mistake was adding the calibre module to the External Zone. I assumed it belonged there because it is the first zone to pop up when I clicked on Allowed Services, and I am allowing KDE Connect and Rsync in this tab as well. For reasons I hope someone will enlighted me on, allowing Calibre through the Demilitarized Zone allows me to transfer my ebooks through the ports I have now defined through the calibre module, which are 8080, 9045, 9090, and 54982 (based upon the debug). I hope this helps anyone who is having trouble with this setup.
