You cannot listen without a port, because that would not make any sense. Every TCP connection needs to happen over some port. What you are looking for is the default 80 port for http, or 443 for https. The browser uses these ports by default.

Depending on the configuration of your system, a user space program may not necessarily have access to these ports. So you may have to configure your system to grant your node application access.
