Hi, just wondering if this is normal for BT, I have heard that Sky use this port for maintainence and updates on their routers, but couldn't find any information tht BT do the same thing, the only port I have opened on my firewall settings is for a self hosted Wireguard VPN tunnel.
I've left wireshark scanning my local network for quite a while, and so far, very quiet, no traffic on the port whatsoever at the moment, which makes me wonder if it is indeed something BT set up that gets them to the router but doesn't expose it to the rest of my network.
A little bit spooky because the port used to be known as a popular one for trojan horses (It spells "Elite"), although if Sky are using it for maintainence and updates, maybe that's the reason they use it, lock it down to prevent "dumb" attacks, and use it for their own purposes, and there's no local traffic on my network using it, perhaps BT does the same?
