The port Webmin uses for inter-system communication is always the one that
you login to it on, which is typically 10000. So you would have to allow traffic
on port 10000 to the node through the firewall.

Also, if you want to use 'fast RPC' mode, you should also open ports 10001-10100.

So are both node and central behind the firewall? If so, it wouldn't even
come into play ..
