System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (10060), timeout due to closed ports

[OcasoProtal]

Please be aware that it is not possible in some environments to open the firewall for the ports that AMQP over TCP need (5671, 5672). The closed ports will lead to a timeout and the given error message in the title. So I would suggest that you add ServiceBusClientOptions to use with the ServiceBusClient and set the TransportType for the options to AmqpWebSockets which will use port 443:

So in both source codes the line

// Create the client object that will be used to create sender and receiver objects
client = new ServiceBusClient(connectionString);

will change to the following:

var options = new ServiceBusClientOptions(); // or make that a static like client
options.TransportType = ServiceBusTransportType.AmqpWebSockets;

// Create the client object that will be used to create sender and receiver objects
client = new ServiceBusClient(connectionString, options);
