Using wifi that Block non standard ports

Hello Tony,

Thank you for your message.

You can change the port to a preferred one when using Direct Connection or Internet-ID Connection via self-hosted RU Server. Please note that in case if you want to use Direct Connection when connecting to a remote Host located outside of your network, you might need to set up some port forwarding rules as described here.

Let us know if you have more questions.
