A tiny documentation tweak to hopefully help avoid the next misinterpretation like on the mailing list today: “Bug: Ignored port setting”.

Use an ephemeral port number here; previously the example had 8080 which could be confusing as the common web server port number might be misinterpreted as suggesting this option affects the remote port.
