SMB using non standard port

[fiddyschmitt]

Currently, the Windows client does not allow connections to a non standard SMB port.

eg.

\\127.0.0.1:5000

But it may be possible in the future according to this article: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/storage-at-microsoft/smb-alternative-ports-now-supported-in-windows-insider/ba-p/3974509

Add an example when this is possible.

Also consider using WinDivert or Windows Filtering Platform to intercept & forward SMB requests.

Notes here

WinDivert

• WinDivert is used in udp-dedupe
• However it needs to run with admin privs every time. Whereas a WFP rule may only need admin during registration.

Windows Filtering Platform

• Consider writing a WFP Callout Driver using PInvokes mentioned here

A workaround is to use port forward (before LanManServer service starts) as described here

ddproxy maybe Edit: Need to turn on test signing and install a certificate, plus it appears it only supports ICMP and UDP.

Didn't working using rclone serving SMB
