Endpoints and Ports

By default, the server will listen on port 8080 for incoming IPv4 or IPv6 connections on any interface. To simply change the port the server will listen on, you can use the Port() directive of the builder. Please note, that hosting a server on ports below 1024 will require additional permissions on some operating systems.

var server = Server.Create()
                   .Handler(...)
                   .Port(80)
                   .Build();

To configure the server to listen on specific interfaces only, you can Bind() those endpoints explicitly.

var server = Server.Create()
                   .Handler(...)
                   .Bind(IPAddress.Parse("192.168.2.10"), 8888)
                   .Bind(IPAddress.Parse("0:0:0:0:0:ffff:c0a8:20a"), 8888)
                   .Build();

By default, the server will try to listen to both incoming IPv4 as well as IPv6 connections (even if you specify an IPv4 or IPv6 address manually). To disable this behavior, specify dualStack: false. The following example will listen to any incoming IPv4 request on any IP address:

var server = Server.Create()
                   .Handler(...)
                   .Bind(IPAddress.Any, 8080, dualStack: false)
                   .Build();
