Just want to draw attention to @marbel82's comment. Finding an unused port number yourself has the problem that another process could steal the port before you bind to it. Suggest using your networking library's facility for letting the system pick an unused port and immediately bind it (e.g. specifying zero for the port number in the UdpClient constructor). Then read the port number it picked, if you still need to (UdpClient example).

I'm using to get a free port as @marbel82 suggested and it is working just fine
