Greetings,
Well Messenger actually uses ports 5004 through 65535 UDP for voice/video conversations, so
if you're simply doing port restriction, you will have to open them all for Messenger to
work.
As well, if the routers supported UPnP, then it would automatically open, forward and close
the ports are necessary when they're used.
