    Which ports are used by pc monitor?

    in Windows

    Posted

    I may misundertand you but you want to completely block all outbound traffic that's not using port 443 (HTTPS) only for two computers in the LAN?

     

    This is a bad idea since your system still needs to do DNS queries (to properly resolve PC Monitor's servers and to provide other services). Again, why do you want to block outbound traffic?

     

     

    This will block all non HTTPS traffic, DO NOT APPLY IT if you don't know what this involves. I repeat, this will kill your DNS connections and pretty much everything else in outbound, rendering your machine pretty much useless.

     

    If you are sure you want this, create the following firewall rules on each of the two computers:

    netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Block Everything" dir=out action=block protocol=any
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Allow HTTPS" dir=out action=allow protocol=TCP remoteport=443

     

    I've got a son who is addicted to games and i want to block internet for him at certan times so he will stay awake at school. :)

    BUT at the same time i want to see him with PC monitor. :) Is it port 53 for DNS queries?

     

    Did not notice the SPOILER until today.

     

    I think he will find out and remove this firewall settings. But thanks anyway!

    Service does not start with windows?!

    in General

    Posted

    Hi

     

    It says "service is not started" or something and do you want to start it?

     

    And when i start the service it works. Rebooted the computer and it worked fine but it did the same yesterday and today it failed to start.

    Lets see tomorrow how it behaves and will be back with an answer.

    If it fails i will try to reinstall it and see if that works.

    Hi!

     

    Is there a way while booting the computer to bypass the start of pc monitor service?

    I'm using pc monitor to keep track of one of my kids usage of the pc but all of a sudden it has stoped working so maybe someone have found a way to bypass it while booting or

    just end the autostart of the service?!

     

    Please help

    Why can i start the original task program?

    in Windows

    Hello Todde,

     

    pcmontask.exe is something related to some internal functionality of PC Monitor. You don't need to run it manually. These clients let you see your connected computers:

     

    • Mobile Clients on smartphones
    • Windows 8 app (PC Monitor from store)
    • PC Monitor Dashboard
    • PC Monitor Web App (at: https://my.pulseway.com)

     

     

    Dashboard does not work unless it has a valid subscription. (See picture) And the same with the Web App.

    The only one that's working is the Windows 8 metro app.

    Hi

     

    I can't use the dashboard since i don't have a paied account just a free one.

    And i can start the agent. but the software that lets me see all my connected computers does not start. I think it's called C:\Program Files\PC Monitor\pcmontask.exe Right?

     

    When i try to start it nothing happens...

     

    Am i lost or something? :)

    Hi

     

    Hard to explaine but i'll try:

     

    I want to start the original monitoring software where i can see all my computers.

    But since i use Windows 8 i can just start the metro app but not the one for Windows.

     

    Is not Windows 8 supported?

     

    I don't like to have it running metro style. :)
