It can share port 80 with IIS and other (Microsoft) software -so this doesn't interfere with regular traffic. Not all software supports this -port sharing feature though. If you get errors telling you that the listener -cannot be started, try to (temporarely) shut down other processes using the -port, or look for another validation method. - -## Non-default port -Even though Let's Encrypt will always send validation requests to port 80, -you may internally proxy, NAT or redirect that to another port. Using the -`--validationport` switch you can tell the plugin to listen to a specific port. - -## Firewall exemption -Obviously, whichever port is used will have to be accessible from outside, meaning -your firewall(s) will have to permit access. Unfortunately due to the use of the -port sharing mechanism, it's not possible to configure the Windows Firewall with -a rule for a specific application (i.e. `wacs.exe`), so you will have to open the -port to `System`. If you feel that is too generous, you could automate enabling/ -disabling this rule by running a script before and after `wacs.exe`. Make sure to -also add that script as steps in the scheduled task. - -## Unattended -`[--validation selfhosting] [--validationport 8080]`
