I believe the reason for that is you cannot assign privileged ports to the node-port range.

If you want to have a service broadcast on ports 80, 443 you’d want to look at using the Ingress object. A couple of popular options are, nginx, traefik, and a more complete list here.

I am implementing ingress using ingress-nginx over a nodeport service.
I need multiple ranges working (e.g. 30000-30200,30400-30600), it doesn’t necessarily have to be privileged ports. :slight_smile:

Node Ports are generally not meaningful numbers, they are auto-allocated. Their most interesting property is that they are unique.

Why do you need multiple ranges?
