[urbit] Urbit behind firewall

[Wei Tang]

To setup a urbit, which port should I set open for the firewall?

Also, I found in the source code that there's a daemon mode "-d" being
commented out. Is that actually available?

Unfortunately, daemon mode hasn't worked for a while. Most of us that
urbit running persistently use screen or tmux.

Urbit uses a random UDP port in a range. I'm not completely sure what the
range is, except that I'm pretty sure it's somewhere in 13337-65536.

Actually, there's a -p option that sets the port if you don't want to open
a whole range. Just make sure to use it every time you invoke urbit.

Sorry for the triple post, but it looks like it just calls bind() with a
port of 0 if you don't specify, so it would actually use any available UDP
port.

Hi Philip,

It seems that -p option sets the port for HTTP binding? Is there another
option to set for the UDP binding?
