Android Push Notification Firewall Setup

Post by Blurry7302 » Sun Jan 29, 2023 4:29 pm

I have Blue Iris isolated on a vlan that I'm trying to lock down. All internet access is blocked by default.
I have remote access working through cloudflare tunnel.
I have allowed blueirissoftware.com on TCP port 443 for updates.
What I'm struggling with is android notifications without whitelisting port 443 for the host. There's so much chatter on 443 from Windows I'm having trouble finding what is Blue Iris.
Would anyone know what domain or IP Blue Iris uses for Android push notifications?

After a little network monitoring I have solved my question.

To allow updates:
blueirissoftware.com - TCP/443

Allow push notifications:
fcm.googleapis.com - TCP/443
(Firebase Cloud Messaging API)
