Change the Web GUI port number? (solved)

[morikaweb]

I am working on improving my network security and I would like to change the unRAID default GUI port number. What would be the best way of doing this well making it prisistant?

Edit your Go file on the flash drive.

 

I edited /boot/config/go

 

#!/bin/bash

# Start the Management Utility

/usr/local/sbin/emhttp -p 8008&

 

make the bold part whatever port you want it to be on.

Can someone explain how changing the default port improves security?

It doesn't. Security through obscurity doesn't change the underlying vulnerabilities.
