What is sudo needed for?

Open armenzg opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

My apologies for using the issue tracker for asking a question but I could not find a mailing list or an IRC channel. Are there any channels available besides the issue tracker?

I read in this page that sudo is needed for "root permission required to connect to port 80/53"

Would it be possible to change the settings to need those ports?

I'm looking to run wpr in automation (Windows, Mac & Linux) and I don't know if I have the ability to run as a privileged user.

I think it's needed for dns stuffs. You can probably run "--no-dns_forwarding" without root.
