Freenet selects a random port for incoming connections. It does not bind
the local side of outgoing connections at all. You will need to be able to:
a) Receive connections on the listenPort from nodes anywhere on the
internet.
b) Send connections to nodes anywhere on the internet, whose listenPorts
may well be below 30,000.
