- Port to listen on for the (TCP) admin socket.

- Note that if you change the listen address to a non-loopback address, this will allow other hosts on the network to manage the Yggdrasil process. This probably isn't desirable.

- You can also specify `"none"` as the interface name, in which case Yggdrasil will run as a router only without opening a network interface. This effectively allows Yggdrasil to carry traffic for other nodes without exposing the system to the network.
|
||||
- The behaviour of this option is different on different operating systems. Some quick notes:
|
||||
- On Linux, any suitable interface name can be specified.
|
||||
- On FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD, a full path to the TAP interface should be specified, i.e. `"/dev/tap0"`.

- On FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD, a full path to the TAP interface should be specified, i.e. `"/dev/tap0"`.
|
||||
- On macOS, a utun device is automatically assigned by the operating system, therefore you cannot specify a name.
|
||||
- On Windows, a network adapter friendly name (like `"Local Area Connection 2"`) can be specified to choose a specific adapter. Use "Network Adapters" in Control Panel to see and/or rename adapters.
|
||||
- `IfTAPMode`
|
||||
- If true, then the interface will be a `tap` device (Layer 2) instead of a `tun` (Layer 3) device.
|
||||
- Default value is platform specific, and some platforms support only `tun` or `tap` mode.
|
||||
- Note that the network only transports IPv6 packets, so frames sent to or received from a `tap` are decapsulated or encapsulated at the end points of a connection.
