Most Python applications use HTTP ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS).

If your application needs to open additional ports or uses other protocols (TCP or UDP), you can adjust the "Ports Redirections" setting in your Python service on the Stackhero dashboard.

For each additional port, specify the entry port (public facing), the destination port (used by your Python application), and the protocol (TCP or UDP).
