How to open a new SocksPort

I’m new in whonix and I would like to know how to open a new SocksPort to avoid identity correlation. As far as I’ve been looking, netstat -plnt shows 9050 and 9102 for thunderbird, but i get confused about how this exactly works, I’ve been reading the stream isolation page from the docs and didn’t understand well when it mentions a range of ports in the gateway (Without IsolateDestAddr and without IsolateDestPort: SocksPort 9153 to 9159) and I’m not sure what is that used for or how to use it. Thanks.

No need to open a SocksPort. Use an existing one.

Documentation:

Make sure to read all, including:

Generic instructions for configuring custom installed applications for stream isolation for less than 7 custom applications
