Hello ,

Let me present you my situation. I`m in my universities campus and most of the ports are blocked. I must present a port opening petition but i do not know which to open.
"Q: Which ports does the client use?

A: The TeamSpeak client uses RANDOM ports from the whole 1024-65535 range for source port and sends to port 8767 (UDP) unless indicated otherwise.

The TeamSpeak Client doesn't usually require any configuration of routers or firewalls. Do NOT setup your router to do port-forwarding or similar, as this is only needed when running the server."

Does this mean that i need to open all the ports within the 1024 - 65535 range ? or only the 8767 Udp one?

Thank you in advance.

You computer will send OUT from a random port (just like it does when opening a web page), however it's destination port is 8767.

Odds are your university has outbound traffic that isn't "common use" (FTP, WWW, POP3, SMTP, etc) blocked. Accordingly you'll want/need to find a TS server that runs on the same port number as one of these standard services.
