If it's only for certain ports, they can just use non-standard ports.
Listening on an unusual port can be a problem for users behind various corporate, hotel and public wifi firewalls.
Isn't using port 80 a trick to avoid being blocked by firewalls?
Careful, you'll also summon the people who block port 80/443 UDP
what's wrong with nonstandard ports?
Great service!Could you consider allowing for ports other than 7878? Would be nice in restricted network environments. Like that of my company; it's allowing only the more common ports to WAN.
if it's just filtering of certain ports, you can just set your ssh port to 80 or 443
That kinda defeats the purpose of restricting ports under 1024.
this is terrible advice given by someone that doesn't understand why privileged ports exist.
ah yes. something that does not clash with extremely common default ports.
