Re: Free TCP/IP port numbers?

The answer is correct - IANA maintains the list of ports. You may also look at the services file nmap maintains or ask showdan what it's seen publicly if you want a public popularity contest of ports. As it is, I'm pretty sure you're over engineering this. Have a config file that has a port range

Re: Free TCP/IP port numbers?

There is official list of all registered port numbers: https://www.iana.org/assignments/service-names-port-numbers/service-names-port-numbers.txt You can choose any port that is not in the list, to be sure they won't clash. On 01.10.2017 06:04, Victor Porton wrote: > We are going to install a
