Unblock a Blocked PortPosted by Pritam on 22:26

Let’s talk about network ports, their requirement in

computer world and all bits and bytes related to

them.

WHY DO WE REQUIRE PORTS AFTER ALL?

A port number is basically an interface through

which a sender machine communicates with the

application on the receiver’s machine. Every

application opens a port for the other machines to

communicate with the application.

Thus port numbers work like telephone extensions. Just as a business telephone

switchboard can use a main phone number and assign each employee an extension

number (like x100, x101, etc.), a computer has a main address and a set of port numbers

to handle incoming and outgoing connections. So whenever a machine wants to exchange

message with another machine it ought to do it via the application port.

BITS n Bytes of ports

A port is associated with an IP address of the host, as well as the type of protocol used

for communication. Primarily transport layer protocols (such as TCP or UDP)

use ports.

A port is identified for each address and a protocol by a 16-bit number, thus valid port

numbers are from 0 to 65535(2^16).These port numbers are divided into three ranges:

1. Well-known ports

2. Registered ports

3. Dynamic or private ports.

The well-known ports are those from 0 through 1023. For example:

20 & 21: File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

22: Secure Shell (SSH)

23: Telnet remote login service

25: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)

53: Domain Name System (DNS) service

80: Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) used in the World Wide Web

110: Post Office Protocol (POP3)

119: Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP)

143: Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP)

161: Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

443: HTTP Secure (HTTPS)

The registered ports are those from 1024 through 49151 and the dynamic or private

ports are from 49152 through 65535.

Unblock a blocked port:

Many times browsers block some ports to prevent attacks that exploit vulnerable services

but as a developer you may be requiring those ports for development purposes. Here is

a list of steps to unblock a port on a browser.
