| Workbench w/ Launcher | 5559 | |
| Workbench w/ load balancing | 22 | Port 22 is exposed for SSH access. |
| Workbench w/ SSL | 80 | When Workbench is configured to use SSL, then all HTTP traffic to port 80 redirects to HTTPS on port 443. |
| Connect | 3939 (HTTP, WS), 443 (HTTPS, WSS) |

Outbound access
Licensing
Posit uses wyDay’s LimeLM TurboActivate and TurboFloat for license management as an approved part of the Posit software delivery infrastructure. As such, for online license activation, you need to allow outbound access to wyday.com.
Adding the port number to a safe sites list by your networking team from where the activation key downloads from could be required:
Address | https://www.wyday.com
Port | 443Package Manager
Package Manager periodically receives package updates from Posit’s online servers.
Installations need to be on servers with outbound access to:
https://rspm-sync.rstudio.comNetwork interface cards
You don’t need to provision a dedicated network interface card (NIC) for Workbench, Connect, or Package Manager. A standard 1 Gbps NIC is usually sufficient unless your applications ingest large amounts of data that fully utilize its capacity. But in most cases, this isn’t necessary.
