Port 443 in the Trusted Peer File


Currently kerjodando defaults to port 443 in the trusted peer file.

However, I have three computers on a LAN and so only one can use port 443.

So only one can be connected to from outside the LAN by using the trusted peer file.

This is now a very big issue.

I have received a lot of feedback from users (linux and Mac ) who can't use 443 so other users can't directly connect to them - they have to use an intermediary.

THIS HAS TO CHANGE.

So I propose that the developers add an input field on for port number on the swarm page e.g. http://www.itsdargens.com/swarm/show_one/86d1cca8104f981648eb1b1d0f0f3a39

Should put it below description but above start. Put the following highlighted text next to it.
Enter port for p2p client, if using a router this port must be forwarded (leave blank if not sure - default port is 443)

The default port should stay as 443. However if a user inputs a port number then this should be used instead of 443 in the trusted peers file that is downloaded every 5 minutes.

THIS TAKE PRIORITY OVER THE WEB GUI AS IT IS MY MISTAKE IN LOGIC THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

NEED DO IT BEFORE CONTINUING TO WORK ON WEB GUI.
