What ports does BitWise use? Can I change them?
BitWise uses three ports: • 4137: used for user-to-user connections. • 4038: used for sending commands to the server. • 4039: used for receiving information from the server. You need to be able to establish outgoing connections on ports 4038 and 4039. For optimal performance, you need both incoming and outgoing connectivity on port 4137. You may not change the ports that BitWise uses. Allowing different ports would substantially detract from the ease of communication among BitWise users. • Can BitWise run completely without the server (in a pure IP mode)? No, BitWise does not offer a pure direct to IP mode. The reasons for this are many, but the most important is that it would be difficult to incorporate it into the program without making the program needlessly more complex.
