Is there a recommended port number to use for this?
The instructions say to use any available port. But I do not know what is available.
You can run a netstat from the command line / shell to determine a port that isn’t in use.
Based on my screenshot, I have a range of open ports between 5985 and 47001 (you have to look at all the results, but, this is the basic idea)
I chose 38555 from that range(for no good reason), and ran another netstat to confirm that it isn’t in use - and it isn’t.
I then check to see if there are any known uses for this port on [wikipedia] (List of TCP and UDP port numbers - Wikipedia) and 38555 isn’t on the list, so it seems like a good choice on my server.
Perhaps others have a more scientific method to determine a good port to use, but, that is what I recommend
Thanks for the info. I will try that.
