Which port does TFS use?

If I want to access TFS from outside my company, which port should I open on the firewall of my company? Is it 8080 only?

Thanks!

From Bruce's other post:
- App Tier: ports 8080, 80
- Sharepoint Admin site port (which changes for each WSS install)
- Date Tier: ports 80, port 1433 for SQL.

This is dangerous. After I opened port 1433 on the firewall, it soon receives thousands logon request with sa account.

Why not make the App Tier as the only front end and just expose one single port?

We are trying to get to the point where the DT can sit behind a Firewall and have ONLY have the AT the front end. This will occur in RTM. Due to a few underlying issues on how our product works with YUKON (which is currently fixed post Beta2).

This, however, will not reduce the need to open Yukon via TCP. You can also open a different port for Yukon, and then on the AT set up an alias to point to that new port. That should reduce the regular attacks on 1433.
