Ports to Block Sonos App

I know there have been discussions on what ports are needed for the Sonos controller app to work, but I have the opposite questions, what are the minimal set of ports to block the Sonos app. My use case is for a vacation home and AirBnB. I want my AirBnb guest to be able to the Sonos via AirPlay, Pandora app, and Spoitfy connect, but I do not want them to be able to use the Sonos app to mess up my services / settings. I use to have this working, but I think some ports changed somewhat recently. Thanks all.

Services and settings are behind a password now.  If they download the app, they can’t get into settings without knowing the password.

As jgatie says, a password is required to do certain things now. Mind you, nothing will stop them factory resetting a device and starting over.
