Hello,

is it possible to add a 2nd connection to localhost on a separate port?
I tried it already but when connecting to it I get:
Cannot connect to the server

Do you mean you need StarWind to listen to 2 different TCP/IP ports?

It is possible, but you need to edit the config file (StarWind.cfg) manually and add the following rules:

Code: Select all

<connections>
  <connection value="127.0.0.1:3260"/>
  <connection value="192.168.0.1:7777"/>
...
</connections>
After restarting the service it will listen to the interfaces/ports.
Best regards,

valery,

thanks a lot for your response. Yes I want a solution for 2 connections (on different TCP/IP ports) on the same machine.

Your solution seems not to work on my machine because the 2nd connection does't shop up in the config tool - perhaps I have to update my version from 3.2.2 to 3.5.4. I'll give it a try later.

Yes, the feature is available only in recent versions.

It should work well in v3.5.4+
Best regards,
