Using port number in Windows host file

[ForumBot]

The `hosts` file is for host name resolution only (on Windows as well as on Unix-like systems). You cannot put port numbers in there, and there is no way to do what you want with generic OS-level configuration - the browser is what selects the port to choose.

So use bookmarks or something like that.

(Some firewall/routing software might allow outbound port redirection, but that doesn't really sound like an appealing option for this.)
