Steam bound ports that can't be reassigned

Steam needs 2 ports in the range of 27000-27100 to be open for master server implementation to work properly.

I have these ports binded in a container, but I have no way of telling Steam that I it should use the 30000> range that Playfab binds to it.

Is there any way to force playfab to pick ports from specific range? Or what's the correct way to implement this? I can't be only one who's working with Steamworks enabled game on Playfab?

As Connecting clients to game servers - PlayFab | Microsoft Learn mentions that the IP addresses used by the multiplayer VMs are drawn from the general pool of IP addresses used by Azure VMs, and all VMs use a port range of 30000-31000 for game traffic. But as you mentioned that Steam needs 2 ports in the range of 27000-27100. Currently, PlayFab doesn't support forcing port picking from a specific range, you may post a feature request for it.
