Keep in mind that port 2121 is outside the protected range of 0-1024 (i.e.,
outgoing processes do not use these ports, they start at 1025 and work
upward). Most processes are smart enough to see that a port is assigned and
skip it so it should not be a problem. It is just something to keep in mind in
case a problem pops up.
