On Windows, the default VPN port (2222) somehow will been used by PID 4 (also known as System) randomly, that cannot be detected that is been using by command
$(ss -tan4H "sport = $port").When 2222 port is been using and not detected by
ss, original strategy will keep using 2222 port, causing unable to start vpn.This PR implements a change to use random port selection instead default VPN port, or
