[edit] Settings

Bitflu comes with a built in set of parameters so it can be simply started after installation. It is also possible to create a configuration file where to customize the program behavior. The original package contains a configuration file example.

[edit] Ports

By default, Bitflu uses three TCP ports:

• 6688
  This is the main port used for download. Bitflu must be allowed to exit to the internet using this port. It is also preferable that this port could be reached from the outside network, for this reason it is recommended that you open this port in you firewall and that you set a port forwarding on your router.
  This port is customizable through configuration file.
• 4001
  This port is where the Telnet-like client is listening for connection. Normally you should access this port only inside your local network.
  This port is customizable through configuration file.
• 4081
  This is where you must point your browser in order to access the Web Interface.
  This port is customizable through configuration file.
