Cloud XR Firewall Settings

Firewall Settings (Windows)

Omniverse CloudXR requires bi-directional communication between the Connected Device and your computer. Because of this, firewall settings need to be adjusted.

Press the Windows Key and type “Settings”, Click on the Settings icon when it appears in the start menu.

Select Network and Internet

Select Windows Firewall

Select Advanced Settings

Select Inbound Rules

Locate any disabled Omniverse Kit Rules

Right Click on each of the rules and Select Properties

Select Allow the Connection

Once all rules have been allowed, Select Outbound Rules and repeat the process

If No Inbound Rules Exist

It is unlikely, but may happen that the inbound/outbound rules were not created during install or were deleted. If that is the case, we can add them in ourselves.

Click on New Rule > Program > This Program Path

Browse to the location of your Omniverse Kit based app installation path.

(You can find this path in launcher under the settings of any installed app) .. image:: /images/cloud-xr_install-path.png

Within that directory, continue to \kit\kit.exe

Select Allow the Connection then select Domain , Private and Public

Name it Omniverse Kit

Click on Finish
