The QRL node can be configured in multiple ways to utilize various features in different ways. You may have some specific requirements for running behind a firewall or other edge cases.
To accommodate this, QRL uses a configuration file found in the root qrl directory ~/.qrl/config.yml this file contains all of the directives available to the user. You will find these configuration options as the default settings, commented out.
For a great guide on .yml file layouts see this YAML to JSON Cheat sheet
Grab a copy of the file here https://docs.theqrl.org/node/config.yml. Also shown at the bottom of this page.
