Hi Martin et al,

OK thanks I now know where to look. BUT color me dumb I don't know
what to do from here. Could you tell me how to tell YaST to allow
jDownloader to work?

The opensuse firewall does not stop outgoing connections, only
incoming. And then, it is not configured per application, but per port.

You have to determine, reading the documentation of jDownloader, what
ports it needs opened. I don't use that app, so I don't know.

Ok, I get this. But my question is how to open port 9666. I've never used
YaST to do this and its not clear.

Go to 'allowed services', hit 'advanced', enter the port(s) in tcp (or udp)
- they're space separated - hit OK, Next, Finish

As long as you don't need complicated stuff, the YaST interface to
configure SuSEfirewall is pretty simple.

thanks! I'll give this a try!
