- Port 53900 (TCP and UDP) p2p protocol is used to connect the shift nodes together.
While it is not necessary to allow inbound connections, allowing them can speed up the time it takes for peers to connect to your node. The more peers, the quicker your blockchain is updates. The p2p port 53900 should be open for UDP and TCP connections in your firewall and if using NAT router should be configured to forward the ports to your gshift installation or allow uPNP to to automatically configure it.

- Port 53901 (TCP, check UDP) RPC
This port should NOT be open to the network. Normally, only mining software, GUI wallets need to connect to this port. This port can be used to make gshift send transactions from your accounts if they are unlocked. Be very careful with what you allow to connect to the RPC port and when making changes to the command line options that affect the RPC port when starting gshift
