+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+To allow clients to connect to the transmission daemon using DNS with
+any hostname other than localhost, do one of the following:
+ - Enable password authentication, then any hostname is allowed.
+ This can be achieved by either:
+ - setting rpc-authentication-required to true, and adding
+ credentials to the rpc-username and rpc-password fields in
+ settings.json (must be done whilst the transmission service is
+ stopped); or
+ - running transmission-daemon with the following arguments
+ (these can be set with transmission_flags in /etc/rc.conf):
+ -t -u USERNAME -v PASSWORD
+ OR
+ - Add the allowed server hostnames to the rpc-host-whitelist setting
+ in settings.json (must be done whilst the transmission service is
+ stopped). Note that this value is NOT a list of allowed CLIENTS,
+ but instead a list of allowed SERVER hostnames.
