Using system ports

System (well-known) ports are port numbers in the range from 0 to 1023. You can redirect these ports to the ports your server is listening on.

To redirect ports:

sudo iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp --dport <system port> -j REDIRECT --to-ports <server port>

To redirect ports for localhost:

sudo iptables -t nat -I OUTPUT -p tcp -o lo --dport <system port> -j REDIRECT --to-ports <server port>

Using HTTPS

To enable HTTPS, modify config.json:

"https": true,
"key": "<path to your private key>",
"cert": "<path to your certificate>"
