Settings Window

This window allows configuration of the following options:

Server Settings

Listening endpoints

A list of local endpoints the server listens on. If empty, server listens on all local network interfaces and uses default TCP port (43580, if not set). The endpoints field is a comma-separated list of one of the following elements:

• name
• name:port
• IPv4
• IPv4:port
• IPv6
• [IPv6]:port

Default TCP port:

If an endpoint specified in the Listening endpoints field does not include a TCP port number, use this value.

Data channel TCP port:

In addition to the TCP port specified in the previous setting (used for discovery and connection purposes), Virtual USB Tools also requires an additional TCP port for data transfers.

Server advertisement

If enabled, clients running on the same domain or local network will be able to discover this server and find out its TCP port number. mDNS protocol is used to publish service advertisements to be broadcasted over the local network.

General Settings

You can configure the UI language as well as color theme using controls in this group. You can configure application to follow system color theme (the default setting) or force the use of either Light or Dark color theme.

Key Management

Server encryption keys management window is opened by executing the USB Devices » Encryption… command.

You can copy the key to the Clipboard or renew the key. Please note: renewing the server's encryption key will render all stored trust on client computers invalid and prevent clients from establishing secure connections until the trust is renewed as well.

Port Forwarding

Press the Port Forwarding button to configure Port Forwarding to be able to share your USB devices over the Internet or other public networks.
