Answer 1

if you want to filter ports based on the range then use portrange.

E.g:

tcpdump -an portrange 1-25

Answer 2

You can also select an interface (change -i any to -i en0 for example) and the communication protocol :

tcpdump -i any 'udp port 1812 or tcp port 1813'

Answer 3

tcpdump port 80 or port 3128

or, alternatively,

tcpdump port '(80 or 443)'
