Hi Rohman,

It is not recommended that you deploy Riak on the public internet. Keep all 
access private and then implement iptables on each individual node securing 
access to upstream clients.

Ports to keep in mind - 

http(s) port (8098)
protocol buffers port (8099)
epmd (4369)
forcing the range of ports erlang uses to communicate amongst other erlang 
nodes.

The latter is not part of the default configuration but I think it should be. 
At least commented out in app.config.

Put it right at the top of the config array above the riak_core directives like 
so:

[

%% limit dynamic ports erlang uses to communicate
%% pick some range that works in your environment 
%{kernel, [
%  {inet_dist_listen_min, 21000}, 
%  {inet_dist_listen_max, 22000}
%]},


%% Riak Core config
{riak_core, [
...


Cheers,
