  1. Well known ports you posted are ok. But not the best list. From my professional point of view I am level 3 tech. All the ports you should need for everyday things like gaming and web surfing is? FTP,SSH,TELNET,SMTP,DNS,TFTP,GOPHER,FINGER,HTTP,KERB,POP3,NNTP,NETBIOS,SNMP,BGP,IRC,LDAP,HTTPS,NETMEETING,PPTP,NAT,QUAKE. Now tease are just the names and if your looking for the numbers of the ports I listed up above you can go online wiki and find all the ports list.

    1. My list is a personal list of the ports I use the most. I don't use GOPHER and QUAKE so I have deliberately not put them in the list.
