WSUS ports for client computers

wsus

I need to setup a WSUS updates for client computers. I know that WSUS server uses port 8530 by default, and this port should be opened at WSUS server side , but which port should be opened at client side?

Best Regards

The clients always initiate the connection. Therefore, they do not need to accept any incoming connections. They just need to open a connection to WSUS. Think of it like downloading files from the internet using a web browser. You don't need to open any ports on your own computer do to that. You just need to be able to browse the web. WSUS works the same way.
