Ok, I am assuming if you run the AntiCheat Client on your gaming computer that you must set your firewall to allow SWAC to act as a server. I was wondering this because it didn't ask the firewall to be a server. And didn't work right at all till it was granted server access. It only asked to be allowed to access the internet not act as server.

I would suspect it would need server like access if it was going to send screenshots back to the Server Watch Main. My question is, does it need to be setup to allow server access or was it coincidence?

AntiCheat Client on the gaming pc is only a client. It access my web page to ask for an update and the ServerWatch server it connect to.

The ServerWatch Server need to be allow to accept connections. Normally on 2 ports. One is for ServerWatch Clients the other for ServerWatch AntiCheat clients. And the server aso ask my website for upates.
The Ports it normally listen on are 23203 (Client) and 24203 (AntiCheat)

I hope i helped ;-)
