What?

Changes firewall UDP range to 40000–65535 in Beginner's Guide

Why?

  1. Dialog appears to use ports 40000–49999: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3AHubs-Foundation%2Fdialog+40000&type=code
  2. Coturn appears to use ports 49152–65535: https://github.com/Hubs-Foundation/coturn/blob/4722697645cf033de8cf4f34e4214af750746365/README.turnserver#L375
  3. Not clear what would use ports 35000–39999.
  4. Testing showed that Firefox requires UDP ports down to 40000 to be open to avoid certain errors.
