-This will bind the server to address 192.168.0.1:33001. Usually the server is only used for local process communication and it does not make much sense to bind this server to some external ip address. Otherwise you would present your IBus traffic to the outside world. Hmm, in some case this might be really helpful, however only if you can secure the communication: nobody want that somebody from the internet is able to turn-off your lights in the car :)
+This will bind the server to address 192.168.0.1:33001. Usually the server is only used for local process communication and it does not make much sense to bind the server to any other address rather than 127.0.0.1. 
 
 '''WARNING''': Currently server does not support any authentication mechanism, so be aware to bind the server to external addresses or to global address 0.0.0.0 for example. This will make your IBus traffic visible to the outside world and is very dangerous if somebody get used to hack it.
