Is there any suggested ports to run Socket.IO servers on? Currently I run Socket.IO on ports 6001,6002, and 6003. However I find some people have trouble connecting to them so I was wondering if there are better ones to use.

Reset to default 7Unless socket.IO has some odd implementation you should be able to use the regular port 80 and 443 since you are connecting with a distinct protocol.
The only thing to lookout for is firewalls, so you should be reading this study about Socket.IO and firewalls: https://github./LearnBoost/socket.io/wiki/Socket.IO-and-firewall-software
