My point has never been that there is a technical reason you couldn't use
any port you want. My point was simply that most people, though in
particular game server providers, traditionally use ports starting at
27015 and up. As another person posted to the list, they had over 90
customers on port 27030. VAC2 has disrupted their business and forced them
to move these customers.
A bunch of you seem hell bent on bashing me for a bad choice of words in
my first post, which I tried to correct, while ignoring the issue I tried
to get addressed:
VAC2 binds itself to 0.0.0.0:27030 and there's no way for us to change
that, and it has affected many people's server setups. It should obey the
-ip parameter, and perhaps even a -vac2port parameter.
This has caused problems as well for GSPs that have hlds and srcds on
the same box, where the srcds has started binding port 27030 when it was
being used for an hlds server - it now means that they have to make sure
that hlds is started BEFORE srcds...
