Is port 5858 blocked by XFinity?

I have a pool controller that uses port 5858 to establish a connection to the company's server. I don't know why they're using that but I don't think I can get it changed. Can anyone confirm that it's being blocked?

It isn't listed on https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/list-of-blocked-ports. AFAIK that list is complete.

@BruceW​ Thanks for your reply. I saw that list and I wondered how up to date it is. The controller worked fine until about two months ago and I wondered if there had been an updated security profile. I'm still trying to figure out how to test it.

@user_49ba06 Sorry to hear that but no, that is not a blocked port. We have a list of blocked ports but that isn't one of them.
