I'm using Railway's TCP proxy (currently port 58202). My clients are hardware devices that need to be manually configured with the port number - changing it later requires physical access to each device.
I found a thread mentioning that Railway Metal tier keeps TCP ports static. Can you confirm that Metal tier guarantee the TCP proxy port stays permanent?
Thanks!

been on railway since the early days and yeah tcp proxy ports are pretty much static once assigned
they dont change on redeploys or anything ive got services running for years on the same port
only way it changes is if you remove the proxy and add it back then it might pick a new one
on the metal thing i think thats their infra upgrade not really a tier but it does add static ips which might help if you need fixed inbound
but for ports alone no need to upgrade its solid on any plan
check your service settings to confirm but should be good for your hardware setup
