 - A server with a public IP address for headscale. A dual-stack setup with a public IPv4 and a public IPv6 address is
   recommended.
-- Headscale is served via HTTPS on port 443[^1].
+- Headscale is served via HTTPS on port 443[^1] and [may use additional ports](#ports-in-use).
 - A reasonably modern Linux or BSD based operating system.
 - A dedicated local user account to run headscale.
