As the `bower_components` folder is not located in any of the base paths, a special routes is added for this folder to be addressed by `/bower_components`.

The default Browser Sync port is `3000`, if you ever need to change it, head over to the [gulp/server.js](https://github.com/Swiip/generator-gulp-angular/blob/master/app/templates/gulp/_server.js#L42) file and add the `port` attribute to the *server* variable.
Example below :
```javascript
browserSync.instance = browserSync.init({
startPath: '/',
server: server,
browser: browser,
port: 4000 // Add this line to change the default port
});
```

Last configuration, the `browser` option is used to open the default browser to the root page.

Head over to [Browser Sync list of options](http://www.browsersync.io/docs/options/) for the full list of available configurations for BrowserSync.

### Proxy

Browser Sync is powered by an express server. The API allows us to inject any Express middleware. Behind comments, an example of use of [http-proxy-middleware](https://github.com/chimurai/http-proxy-middleware) is prepared.
