Tor Browser / Tor Browser Bundle ports

Support
1

Hi

I’m wondering why there are different port settings for Tor Browser and standard TBB. (see below)
Could you please elaborate on this?
Do you apply “IPv6Traffic PreferIPv6 KeepAliveIsolateSOCKSAuth” somewhere else in the TBB on Whonix Workstation?
If I route a custom workstation with standard TBB through Whonix Gateway, should I use port 9150?
Is there a big difference?

Thx

## Tor Browser Bundle Default Port
## This port gets used if someone uses the default Tor Browser Bundle.

Port 9100 is a leftover. Legacy. Not actually used. The comments should be updated, but otherwise you can forget about it.
