 The default localtunnel client connects to the `localtunnel.me` server. You can, however, easily set up and run your own server. In order to run your own localtunnel server you must ensure that your server can meet the following requirements:
 
 * You can set up DNS entries for your `domain.tld` and `*.domain.tld` (or `sub.domain.tld` and `*.sub.domain.tld`).
-* The server can accept incoming TCP connections for any non-root TCP port (i.e. ports over 1000).
+* The server can accept incoming TCP connections for any non-root TCP port (i.e. ports over 1024).
 
 The above are important as the client will ask the server for a subdomain under a particular domain. The server will listen on any OS-assigned TCP port for client connections.
