BOT Messaging Endpoint URL

Question

I am not using Azure to host the bot. I have my own web hosting environment.

Can the Messaging Endpoint URL contain an IP and non standard port.

For Example: https://65.25.78.56:8445/api/messages

1) Can the URL contain an IP instead of DNS name.
2) Can non standard port be used.

Thanks

@Mark The restriction with hosting the bot in your environment or server is that it should be accessible publicly with a HTTPS endpoint. Here are more details in the FAQ document.

There is also no restriction on the port, you can change the port in the settings file and deploy the bot. The default port is 3978.
