code-d

On my work computer (windows 10) code-d is not able to connect to dcd-server. Socket exceptions are thrown in the log. The executable dcd-server.exe is running (windows task list).

I also know what the issue is, by a small experiment. The default port of dcd-server is too small and blocked by the McAffee firewall. If I start the server and client from the console with a higher port (e.g. 50000) the communication works. With the default port it does not work.

Could you add a setting to code-d to easily change the port of dcd-server?

this is currently hardcoded

but it may make sense to make this configurable and also higher by default (as it's not supposed to be connected from externally anyway)

I did some more tests. It seems just the default port of dcd-server 9166 is blocked by the firewall. One port lower or higher works without problem. Therefore if you could add a setting for choosing the port, this would be really great.
