How to change Docker API Port from TCP to UDP

Question

I would like to access the Docker API (running on Windows Server). Sadly a TCP connection is not possible in our network (at least for this case).

Here I found a solution to change the port. But I am not sure if changing the protocol is possible?

{
   "hosts": ["tcp://0.0.0.0:4243"]
}

Remember that you can pretty easily use the Docker API to completely take over a host: I would not recommend enabling network access to it at all. — David Maze, Oct 07 '20 at 12:15

From the docs:

The Docker daemon can listen for Docker Engine API requests via three different types of Socket: unix, tcp, and fd.

... udp is not an option.
