title: Node.js Bot Framework linux hosting machine traffic setup
body: <p>I have created the very basic bot using the Node.js option as is in the steps <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/bot-framework/nodejs/bot-builder-nodejs-quickstart" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>. It is running and the Bot Channels appID and Pass from Azure is properly in the code.</p>
  
  <p>I have also (of course) filled the messaging endpoint properly.</p>
  
  <p>Yet when I try to send a message from the webchat the bot doesn't receive.</p>
  
  <p>So obviously, I have to set the machine networking somehow, I have already allowed the port 8080 but that didn't help. What else should I do? </p>
  
  <p>I didn't find any documentation about how to set the machine hosting Microsoft Bot Framework bot, else I wouldn't be asking here. Any ideas? I know most of the people use their own hosting so someone must know how to get it connected.</p>
