Change ports Bitdefender uses

Sam Doehart

I've had an issue since installing Bitdefender where one of my other programs has stopped running because it is trying to use Port 8000 but that Port is being taken up by Bitdefender. Is there any way to change which Ports Bitdefender uses so my other program can run correctly? Or is there a way for me to set it up so both can use the same Port?

Hi @Sam Doehart

If needed, create a custom port for that program, using the Advanced tab instructions found here (scroll towards the bottom of the page). Trying to change a default port that Bitdefender uses, would not be recommended for its proper functioning regarding the servers it connects to.
