| Hello,
we have by default enabled curl in our hosting.
but, one of the customer is asking the following
"do you support curl post to any port. http://example.com:7010/tets/".
What should i tell him? how can i check this

| It sounds like your customer is just asking if there would be anything blocking outgoing connections to a specific port. Many hosts restrict which incoming/outgoing ports are open for security reasons. If you use CSF you can check the /etc/csf/csf.conf for the TCP_IN, TCP_OUT, UDP_IN, UDP_OUT variables and see what's listed which will tell you the ports that are allowed to be used. If you use a different firewall, you will have to determine how to check the incoming / outgoing ports on your own or manually check the iptables rules output.
I would suggest you tell your customer that you can open any port that they have a legitimate need to be open, and just add the port to your firewall.

| Ask them legitimate reason first and then open the firewall port for them .
Good Luck !

| btw, for example if a visitor to the site take a live chat and asks for the list of ports that we have currently open, is it ok to provide him the csf.cof port list below?

| No .
It means you are going to expose all security holes of your server to the visitor or might be exploiter .Never do these type of mistakes.
Good Luck Mate!

| Thanks !
In addition ,change ssh port of your server to new non-standard port to avoid attacker enter into your system through ssh .
vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

| btw, last one more question. is it posible to enable ports account wise?
we are using csf firewall.

| Your query mate seems wrong . How you can enable ports over cpanel account ? Port is open for the visitors of the websites hosted in server not for cpanel account . Rethink your question and post again
