<div class="faq_answer"><p>The main port that Tribler uses for BitTorrent traffic can be set under Settings, General. The default port number is 0, which lets your Operating System to choose a port for you.</p>
<p>Additional, optional, settings to use a manual proxy can be found under Settings, Connection.</p>
<p>You are most welcome to configure a different port, but keep in mind that ports below 1024 are privileged and therefore most likely unavailable to Tribler. Choose a value higher than 1025 to be safe. Also keep in mind that each port number can be used by only one program at the same time. If you have other BitTorrent software running, for example, and want Tribler to use the same port then you will first have to close that other program completely before running Tribler or configuring Tribler's port.</p></div>
