The Requested Port Is Already Allocated

[garyrob 0]

I'm testing AirVPN for use with an Ethereum node. It needs incoming TCP and UDP on port 30303. When I try to "request a new port" in the Client Area, I get an error "The requested port is already allocated". But I have 0 ports at this point. How can I forward port 30303?

A given port can only be forwarded to one account. 30303 is used by another account, so for you it's inforwardable.

and we can't buy our own dedicated server to have the ports we need (so even if someone has taken these ports on another server/address we could still use them for our needs)?

There are no "private" servers. If you need one, you will have to rent your own server and turn it into a VPN node.
