Running on a privileged port
============================
You may choose to run electrumx on a different port than 50001 / 50002.
If you choose a privileged port ( < 1024 ) it makes sense to make use of a iptables NAT rule.
An example, which will forward Port 110 to the internal port 50002 follows:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 110 -j DNAT --to-destination 127.0.0.1:50002
You can then set the port as follows and advertise the service externally on the privileged port
REPORT_SSL_PORT=110
