If your router/firewall needs OUTBOUND filtering rules, set the following rules to
allow Fingbox to reach the Fing services:
OUTBOUND - tcp/80 - to ANY Internet address
OUTBOUND - tcp/443 - to ANY Internet address
OUTBOUND - tcp/4443 - to ANY Internet address
OUTBOUND - tcp/5671 - to ANY Internet address
OUTBOUND - tcp/3001 - to ANY Internet address
OUTBOUND - tcp/3002 - to ANY Internet address
OUTBOUND - tcp/3003 - to ANY Internet address
When I try to activate, I get an “Authentication Error”
SOLUTION - delete the network from the Fing list
a. Launch the Fing app
b. At the bottom of the screen, tap on “My Networks”.
c. On the list, find the network that you’re currently connected to and then delete it
with a swipe-left gesture.
d. At the bottom of the screen, tap on “Fingbox”.
e. At the top-right corner, tap on the (+) button to search for the Fingbox.
f. Follow the on-screen instructions.
When I try to activate, the app says it cannot find any Fingbox
Make sure your mobile phone (where you’re running the Fing app) is connected to a WiFi
network that can reach the Fingbox (i.e. using the same router to connect to the Internet).
When I try to activate, the app says the Fingbox has been already activated under
another account
For security reason, a Fingbox is controllable only if you’re logged in with the same account
used to activate the Fingbox.
Go to the account screen and login with the same account that activated the Fingbox.
To access the account screen, go to “My Networks” and then tap on the icon in the top-right
corner.
If you don’t remember which account you used to activate the Fingbox, write an email to
support@fing.io specifying your name and the Fingbox MAC serial (as printed in a sticker under
its white body).
