How it works

Three steps, no setup

1

Choose a range

System (0–1023), registered (1024–49151), or ephemeral (49152–65535).

2

Generate a port

A random number is picked from within the chosen range.

3

Check for conflicts

Well-known ports like 80, 443, and 5432 are flagged so you can avoid them.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Why avoid the system port range for a dev server?
Ports below 1024 typically require elevated privileges to bind to on most operating systems, and many are reserved for standard services.
What is the ephemeral range used for?
Operating systems use it to assign temporary source ports for outgoing connections, so it is best avoided for a long-running server.
