clientPort = 40000; // int value, forces the port the clients connect with
This is listed as an "Additional Parameter" for the DayZServer configuration, and setting this value (in ServerDZ.cfg, my used config file) does not change the port that clients use to connect to the game port.
I assume that this may be related to a prior update which stopped forcing the port 2304 to be used by clients. I'm not sure if that unintentionally broke this option, or if this option was meant to be removed from the wiki.
Can confirm that 'clientPort' in the server.cfg does not appear to work. Tried connecting using the Official launcher as well as the in-game browser, and the client is still using a Windows ephemeral port. This was verified with Wireshark running on both the client PC and the server.
Edit: This appears to work if you launch DayZ from the command line and use the documented "-connect:IP:PORT:QUERYPORT" format. So 'clientPort' does appear to work, just not with the Official launcher or in-game browser.
Hello everyone and thank you for the report.

@Geez Noticed this ticket was marked as resolved. Just curious, did this get fixed for an upcoming update? Thank you.
Hello sanguine00.
This fix should be included in the upcoming update/hotfix.

Hello,
Seems like this still is an issue..
I have tried to set different ports in clientPort, but client just ignores that (looked through Wireshark).
@Geez This clientPort setting/option would be really helpful in order to configure server firewall to not allow any incoming connections from different ports.
Any ideas when this could be fixed?
Hello BGZ,
We will require more information as to how are you connecting to the server?
Hey @Geez
Basically, I have a DayZ server running in dedicated Windows Server machine, I have configured parameter clientPort in serverDZ.cfg as shown in the docs (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/DayZ:Server_Configuration), have tried different ports as well, but without any luck..
I'm using DayZ default launcher to join the server. After connection, I see in Wireshark that my DayZ client is using some random port, not the port which is configured:
