Blocking Ports
User Guide

Avoiding problems with legitimate users
It is possible for legitimate users to have problems because
of blocked ports. In particular, some clients might tempo-
rarily fail because of blocked ports.
You should be very careful about blocking port numbers
between 1000 through 1999, as these numbers are particu-
larly likely to be used as client ports.
