[Help] What is the port range that gnome-user-share uses?

Hi, I want to use gnome-user-share but my firewall blocks it. It appears to use different ports every activation. What is the range of ports it communicates in? I tried looking at the source code but I’m too unfamiliar with the network stack.

There is no port range. gnome-user-share requests the OS for a free port, and uses what port the OS assigns.

Refer to the following issues.
