⁠Configuring

⁠Change the Port

If you want to change the port from the default of 1080, don't do it in danted.conf, but instead change the port mapping in the docker run command. So, by default that portion in the run.sh script is:

-p 1080:1080

If you want to set the port to 9999, for example, use this:

-p 9999:1080
