So, I was on a game forum and a user there was asking a GM what ports the game uses; apparently that user was at work so I'm assuming the IT dept blocked common ports used by entertainment websites. The GM responded by saying they cannot divulge that information due to possible security risks.
I've played games that allow users to host their own servers, E.G: Minecraft, Sauerbraten, Nether, Halo CE, ect. And the ports those games use is well known through-out the hosting community. What's the difference between that, and say, knowing which port Guild Wars 2, WoW, or Crossfire, uses?
