Does RainbowMiner do anything to the Windows Firewall?

[RainbowMiner]

RainbowMiner uses the same localhost port 3999, that could cause a problem. I will change the localhost port.

[RainbowMiner]

Done. Find the web interface at URL http://localhost:4000
See commit a49c404

For some unknown reason I cannot get the MPM http://localhost:3999 to work anymore. The only thing different is I used RainbowMiner then shut that down and started MPM up again and no web for dashboard etc.

It looks like a port problem. Just update RainbowMiner to the current release version and reboot the PC. That should solve the problem.

What did RainbowMiner do to the Windows Firewall to stop MPM http://localhost:3999/ from working when running MPM?

[paulpoco]

I reset the Firewall to default.
Moved my working MPM setup to a different folder.
Replaced API.psm1 with the Rainbowminer one.
MPM web function works now. Will stop MPM and try MPM's API.psm1 and see if the localhost function still works.

Ok it was the new folder and resetting Window Firewall that got the local host working again.

Super :) Please note, that you will have to update the https://github.com/RainbowMiner/RainbowMiner/blob/master/Downloader.ps1 , too, since there is a call to the API inside.
