I'd like to know if there is a convenient port range for icecast and shoutcast streams I can set on centova, so those streams are not under those commonly banned ports by office firewalls and system administrators. I'm using currently 8100 port range and I have one stream which can't be listened in some public offices!

I think that port range 8xxx is commonly banned so I don't know if it's maybe better to use another port range less prone to be banned. If you have some earlier experience on that, I'd appreciate your comment!


Thanks in advance!

port 80 is commonly used in such cases, but there may be others that are allowed.

Thanks karl, I've heard some range ports like (7100 - 71xx) and (15000 - 15xxx) are less prone to be banned, may I use higher port range as I want to? let's say, 60xxx port range! if you have any sugestion about this, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks again for your reply!

icecast does not put any restriction the port range, just specify the ports and if they are available then it will use them.
