    It's no need to set up anything if your AirPlay device and the host are in the same LAN subnet. (Because your rule
    LAN_to_Device allows all ports between devices and the firewall)

    I would start with:

    Type

    Protocol

    Port

    UDP

    mDNS

    5353

    UDP

    Airplay

    7200 – 17210

    TCP

    Airplay

    5000, 7000, 7100, 50000, 7200 – 17210

    Allow that from ALL to ZyWall and vice versa and see what happens.

    much appreciated!

    Just to clarify, I don't need to open ports to go outside (LAN to WAN). To make airplay work I only need internal traffic open? I do have already LAN1 to ZyWall fully open (any)

    @tesagig May I know your airplay topology? do you want streaming airplay cross VLANs? we currently do not support this scenario, thanks

    no, just regular on local LAN

    BTW. In general. what is the logic for opening ports between Zywall and LAN? If I don't have any rule for Zywall to LAN do I block something?

    Based on my other thread: can I simply accomplish this by flipping on "app patrol - airpaly"?

    thanks. airplay is working. Turns out there is a defect in the Bluesound PulseFlex speaker
