Add open resolver warning below the table of necessary ports to remind users that this table does NOT (as in: NEVER) read this table as a list of ports to open from the WWW onto their Pi-holes. This is just bad idea. Fullstop.

| lighttpd | 80 (HTTP) | TCP | If you have another Web server already running, such as Apache, Pi-hole's Web server will not work. You can either disable the other Web server or change the port on which `lighttpd` listens, which allows you keep both Web servers running. |

| pihole-FTL | 4711 | TCP | FTL is our API engine and uses port 4711 on the localhost interface. This port should not be accessible from any other interface.|

Do ***never*** open the ports listed above to the Internet. They ***will*** lead to creating an [open resolver](http://openresolverproject.org/). Open resolvers are almost always a severe danger both for you and other users of the Internet. There is a lot that can go wrong and could make you becoming part of a botnet (more precisely a DNS amplification attack participant) very easily. When you need to use your Pi-hole from the Internet (whilst travelling, etc.), you ***must*** set up a VPN to do so (see, e.g., [our OpenVPN guide](../../guides/vpn/overview) on how to do this). This will give you safe and secure access from your Pi-hole for everywhere. This cannot be stressed enough.

!!! info "Optional ports"
|
||||
The use of lighttpd on port _80_ is optional if you decide not to install the Web dashboard during installation.
|
||||
The use of pihole-FTL on ports _67_ or _547_ is optional, but required if you use the DHCP functions of Pi-hole.
