Personally I would stick with anything between 1430 and 1440. 80 is out, 21 is used for FTP, 119 is used for news, and some of the other 2 digit ports are standardized for stuff. A lot of the peer-to-peer filesharing crap programs use the higher ports (5000+), but you never know, they might pick something else.I think keeping it in that realm will let you feel better about firewalling all other ports except that range. |
