Sorry, but if you don't know what you're talking about, PLEASE don't send
in answers. People get confused enough without deliberately presenting
false information.
5900 + <display number> (or 59xx in shorthand) is the ONLY required in/out
port. That is the VNC protocol port.
58xx is a convenience, and the only thing it does is serve up a Java
version of VNCviewer, which then connects (using the standard 59xx port,
just like all other viewers) back to the server. As long as you have a
normal executable version of VNCviewer, you can block 58xx with impugnity.
I have also seen people asking about port 80, which VNC servers do NOT use
at all. That confusion arises because of the mini-HTTP server that is
running at 59xx. Many people see "HTTP" and immediately assume it is at
port 80.
