Known Issues
|
||||
-------------

the value for these in transmission-daemon systemd unit file "lib/systemd/system/transmission-daemon.service"
|
||||
* Random Ports
|
||||
Currently it is not possible to use random ports in the range 65535-49152. It is difficult to open multiple ports in IIAB firewall.
