listen to UDP server from azure web apps

Question

I am building a web app using node.js and the azure web app service. My node.js server is supposed to accept UDP data from client devices, but I am having difficult time setting this up.

Does any form of azure web app service accept data from ports other than TCP 80 and 443? Can an azure web app linux docker container be setup to accept data from a specific UDP port?

Answer 1

Azure App Service is restricted to TCP 80/443. See Express Applications throwing 500 on azure .

If you need to listen on a port different from 80/443, you'd need to deploy to a Virtual Machine which supports any TCP/UDP ports.
