Additional firewall rules required for proper connection.
Only needed when default firewall config is aggressive (on default firewall settings at least Ubuntu and Fedora do not need this).

Allow multicast:

iptables -A INPUT   -m pkttype --pkt-type multicast -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -m pkttype --pkt-type multicast -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT  -m pkttype --pkt-type multicast -j ACCEPT

Chromecast devices network scanning:

iptables -I INPUT -p udp --dport 5353 -j ACCEPT

Allow connections to http server (replace port number with the one set in extension settings):

iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 4000 -j ACCEPT

Allow Chromecast UDP data (inbound and outbound):

iptables -I INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 32768:61000 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I OUTPUT -p udp -m udp --sports 32768:61000 -j ACCEPT

Allow Chromecast TCP data:

iptables -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dports 8008:8009 -j ACCEPT
