Can't open a port on MacOS Monterey

Hi all!

I have a problem with opening a port on my Mac. An application needs 9654 to be opened.

I've tried yo edit pf.conf and add this rule there:

pass in proto tcp from any to any port 9654

but when I save the file and then do sudo pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf the message appears:

No ALTQ support in kernel

ALTQ related functions disabled

and nothing happens (I mean the port stays to be closed).

Here is the result of sudo lsof -PiTCP -sTCP:LISTEN:

ControlCe 515 *** 16u IPv4 0x1ee6bb88a66edd5d 0t0 TCP *:7000 (LISTEN)

ControlCe 515 *** 17u IPv6 0x1ee6bb7a3f8cabc5 0t0 TCP *:7000 (LISTEN)

ControlCe 515 *** 18u IPv4 0x1ee6bb88a66f12cd 0t0 TCP *:5000 (LISTEN)

I've tried to use Murus Lite to manage Firewall. So, made a group, added port 9654 there, set Inbound policy - Pass for this group. But nothing happened.

I check connection with https://localhost:9654/?method=ping but it answers that it can't connect to the site. Other ports return the same error.


Please help me!

What do I need to do to open the port correctly.

Thank you.

You might want to have a look at adding the specific application to the firewall settings:
