------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
