I just want to add that the solution there did not work for me when I
was trying to get my hdhr3-cc to work with a firewall on the back
end. I don't know the exact reason for this. I use ufw as a frontend
to iptables, and whitelisted all traffic from my hdhr3-cc:

ufw allow from hdhr3cc

I think the iptables incantation would be (pleace correct)

iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW --source hdhr3cc -j ACCEPT

(the hostname hdhr3cc is specified on /etc/hosts on the BE).

Since this whitelists traffic from a host, rather than from ports on
any host, I think this is a better option.
