The following ports are restricted for HTTP health probes: 19, 21, 25, 70, 110, 119, 143, 220, 993. These ports are blocked for security reasons by WinHTTP, meaning that Load Balancer health probes are unable to use these ports. For more information, see [What's New in WinHTTP 5.1](/windows/win32/winhttp/what-s-new-in-winhttp-5-1#changes-to-default-settings).
