If you have legitimate traffic (even heavy) no problem!
Low traffic on "strange" ports CAN raise questions!
Heavy traffic on ANY port will raise questions!
Anybody trying to circumvent the firewall:
You don't want to be the one!

For your info:
I'm running a "public accessible Hotspot".
This means that there is a lot of "strange" traffic
but 99.9% of all people are well behaved!
Only 1 (one) MAC address is permanently banned
(Or until that laptop gets the "spamware" removed)
Only 2 out of way more than 1000 people tried to abbuse
the network connection! After closing all bit-torrent
ports permanently and a short talk, they behaved.
