Error Message
PHP stopped curling port 9000 on my application server out of nowhere.
Other Information
I tested it with other ports and it worked. How do I do it?
Unfortunately cURL is not supported

The article that @jaikrishna.t shared applies to situations whether other websites try to use cURL to access your website.
But this sounds like that you’re trying to use cURL to access a service elsewhere, and that should just work.
However, as also seen in this topic, it appears that it was possible to access arbitrary ports on other services from our hosting before. That was never supposed to be possible and was likely caused by a bug on our end. That bug has now been fixed, but this did of course break any website that started to rely on this incorrect behavior in the mean time.
So using cURL on our hosting is supported and you can use it to talk to external websites. However, it only works with services that are reachable on regular website ports: port 80 (HTTP) and port 443 (HTTPS), because other ports are blocked.
So since your website relied on behavior that was not supposed to be possible in the first place, we have no intent to restore this functionality.
