Port 9980

Post by jimshorts »

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know if port 9980 is important? I noticed it's vulnerable to tls 1.0 and I wanted to just disable it all together, but dont' know if that'll blow something up.

What are your thoughts?

If you are not using it for any specific service, you can block it, I don't know of any default/specific/important service that runs on it.
