 To start the proxy server, simply run:
 {{{
-xpra proxy :20 --auth=allow --bind-tcp=0.0.0.0:443
+xpra proxy :20 --auth=allow --bind-tcp=0.0.0.0:8443
 }}}
 
 If only one session is accessible, users can connect as usual with:
 {{{
-xpra attach tcp:USERNAME:PASSWORD@PROXYHOST:443
+xpra attach tcp:USERNAME:PASSWORD@PROXYHOST:8443
 }}}
 
 If there is more than one session accessible for this user, the client also needs to specify which display it wishes to connect to using the extended attach syntax: "{{{tcp/USERNAME:PASSWORD@SERVER:PORT/DISPLAY}}}":
 {{{
-xpra attach tcp/username:password@127.0.0.1:443/100
+xpra attach tcp/username:password@127.0.0.1:8443/100
 }}}
