Historically, it has been recommended not to use the default ports for connections to SQL Server, as part of security best practice. On a server with a single, default instance, the following ports would be used by default:
- SQL Server service - Port 1433 (TCP)
- SQL Server Browser service - Port 1434 (UDP)
- Dedicated Admin Connection - Port 1434 (TCP)
**QUESTIONS:**
- Is this advice still relevant?
- Should ALL of the above ports be changed?
