    Hi,

    I am having success running kagdedi on my NAS. However, I don't want to forward port 80 nor 443 to the NAS as it's already used for something else.

    I see it's hardcoded (cf wiki https://wiki.kag2d.com/wiki/Server) but maybe the wiki isn't up to date and there is a way, now, to change that ? I just want the ability to change these ports (80&443)

    Thank you
    Riri

    Not likely to happen, 443 is used as it's the official port for https connections, just as 80 is the official port for http connections. You could try talking with jrgp on IRC about how he circumvents any possible issues here but afaik there shouldn't be issues with outgoing https.

    Well, why does kagdedi uses these ports anyway ? I mean.. those are already assigned to HTTP and HTTPS.
    I don't see why it could not be set by configuration file, as I guess the server browser could just support this, no ?

    Because the API uses HTTP requests iirc

    Well, obviously. But by your thinking, then Kagdedi is a web server ?

    I never said that, I've just said the API gets the server information using HTTP.

    Connections should all be outbound as far as kagdedi is concerned.
    As I said, talk with jrgp about resolving it (you can find him in #kag on quakenet most hours of most days).
    If he doesn't have a solution on your end get him to suggest one to us, as this is the first we've heard of issues with collisions on these ports.

    https://wiki.kag2d.com/wiki/Server#Ports is very misleading

    You do not need to forward 80 or 443. You can stop reading here.

    What that table is supposed to say is KAGdedi needs to be able to make outgoing connections on those two ports for lobby access, not accept connections to them.

    This means you would only need to take action regarding those two ports if you are using a restrictive outgoing firewall, in which case you would need to white list those ports.
