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?
