Re: [Question #63625]: Is Transmission's port only allowed for Transmission?

Emilio proposed the following answer:
Hello JoshMan,

(G)ufw allows traffic to come in through that port. But it doesn't check
who receives it. Choosing Transmission on the GUI is just the easy way
for the users to open transmission's port. You can achieve the same by
opening transmission, looking for the port on the config, and opening it
with Gufw.

But, as 2 applications can't listen on the same port simultaneously, if
you are running transmission all of the time, you can be pretty sure
transmission gets the traffic :)

Hope this clarification helps!
