Disable outbound ports

Hello,
I would like to be able to identify specific outbound
ports as unusable to the operating system. Specifically,
when an outbound connection is attempted using a non-
specific port, the OS will pick a random port. I would
like to prevent certain ports from being randomly selected
by the OS so that firewalls on the server side will not
block me. Any ideas on how to turn off specific port
numbers for outbound connections?
 
Hi,

It sounds to me like the upstream firewall is misconfigured. It should not
be filtering based on the outbound source ports. I know of no way to
restrict the ports the OS uses for outbound traffic. Your best bet is to
correct the firewall config.

Thanks,
