Take a look at this:

TCP and UDP Ports Used by Clients and Agents

Depending on what protocol you are using, you have to open some additional ports.

Hello,

If you want to limit open ports to only 443 from the Internet, you might want to have a look at implementing a Unified Access Gateway. Then you can setup Blast protocol and tunnel all connections over port 443.

Check How to make all ports of Horizon out from port 443

My understanding:I need open port for Horizon View Agent(Virtual Desktop IP).

Is that right?

But if I have a lot of desktop, What should I do?

Hi,

It all depends on your setup. If for example you use PCoIP as your connection protocol, You'll need to have ports 443 & 4127 open from internet to your security server.

You security server must be allowed access to your connection server and probably also to your VDI's. Check Network Ports in VMware Horizon 7 | VMware  for a more detailed graphic to see what ports need to be open between which servers. Also this site Understanding Horizon Connections | VMware  can help you.

It's important to know how your setup is actually configured: tunneled connections or not, ... But the 2 sites above will certainly help you get a better understanding on how you should set it up.

Michiel.
