tcp-proxy default port 443 change has no effect

local.conf is configured as follows：

local.conf and tcp-proxy are in the same directory. Start command: /var/lib/zerotier-one/tcp-proxy

Because my port 443 is already used by caddy, I get an error that port 443 is occupied.

sorry for any confusion. tcp-proxy doesn't have any configuration options. it runs only on 443.

local.conf configures zerotier-one not tcp-proxy

[chenxudong2020]

Can it be changed to other ports? Port 443 is strictly controlled in China.

The only way is to edit the source code.

Thank you for your answer. I request to add the function of specifying the port. Since zerotier itself provides the function of forwarding traffic, why do we need to provide proxy?

I'm not sure why you need a custom proxy. Most people do not use a custom tcp proxy.
