I see ... this is a common issue in node.js: because of security concerns, a process without root privileges is not allowed listen on ports lower that 1024, so it cannot access HTTP (80) or HTTPS (443) ports. There are two possible solutions:

Solution 1: run node with root privileges, like sudo node twister-proxy.js &

Or, if you are on a computer where you don't have root access, edit settings.json, and put a number bigger than 1024 but smaller than 65535 in "http_port".

We should put this in the readme, I didn't notice it when I wrote the proxy. More info about this issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9164915/node-js-eacces-error-when-listening-on-most-ports

BTW it is great that you are interested in this public servers idea. We kinda left it unfinished last April - the twister-core has support for public_server_mode, but the twister-html counterpart was not merged yet, it is this pull request: miguelfreitas/twister-html#135 - if you would like to play with this a little bit, I can resolve the conflicts so that Miguel can merge it.

ok, i try it in future.

Fix for readme #2 (comment)

It would be better if i can see normal error not exception and nodejs crash with ports < 1024
