I don't think you need to open any ports for a mesh network to transmit UDP packets. It's a full virtual network.

    If you want any system to connect to you, you need to open a port. You don't need to do that for outgoing connections (the OS and your router will automatically open ports for the return connection). So if everybody connects to one central system, nobody needs to (explicitly) open any ports (except for the central connection point)
