The firewall doesn't support adding port ranges, only single ports.
Generally, it's better to create an exception for a program or a service,
rather than define port numbers. Then, when the program creates its
listening socket(s), the firewall dynamically opens whatever ports the
program uses, and restricts incoming traffic to that process only.
