Configurable Port Range for Device Connections

[chetansutar008]

The current Appium Device Farm implementation dynamically allocates ports for device connections. This poses a potential security risk, as it requires opening a broad range of ports on the firewall when remote access is needed (for example, when accessing from another network).

It would be highly beneficial if the plugin could allow configuring a specific range of ports for device connections. This would enable teams to open and monitor only a limited, controlled set of ports — improving both security and network manageability.

Suggested Enhancement:

Introduce a configuration option (e.g., devicePortRangeMin: 8200, devicePortRangeMax : 8250]) that restricts port allocation to a defined range.

The plugin should allocate device communication ports only from this specified range.

Excited to try this out — do you have an approximate timeline for when it will be added or released?

@chetansutar008 PR raised, once reviewed it will be released.
