These settings configure the access method to your own http proxy and server. All traffic is routed throug one single port, for both proxy and server.

Server/Proxy Port Configuration

The socket addresses where YaCy should listen for incoming connections from other YaCy peers or http clients.
You have four possibilities to specify the address:

• defining a port only (e.g. 8080)
• defining IP address and port (e.g. 192.168.0.1:8080)
• defining host name and port (e.g. home:8080)
• defining interface name and port (e.g. #eth0:8080)

Hint: Dont forget to change your firewall configuration after you have changed the port.

Server Access Restrictions

You can restrict the access to this proxy/server using a two-stage security barrier:

• define an access domain with a list of granted client IP-numbers or with wildcards
• define an user account with an user:password - pair

This is the account that restricts access to the proxy function. You probably don't want to share the proxy to the internet, so you should set the IP-Number Access Domain to a pattern that corresponds to you local intranet. The default setting should be right in most cases. If you want, you can also set a proxy account so that every proxy user must authenticate first, but this is rather unusual.
