View Full Version : Why would my router want access to my port 80?

This is most probably not the place to ask this, but where else could I ask this? :)

For some reason, my verizon dsl router sends packets to computers connected to it with a destination port of 80... Here's an example (redacted) from my logs:



localhost kernel: [UFW BLOCK] IN=wlan0 OUT= MAC=bla SRC=192.168.x.router DST=192.168.x.me LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=44920 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=1114 DPT=80 WINDOW=5840 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0


Why do you think it would be doing this? I don't have any special services running on this router and its firewall has no port forwarding rule for port 80...

Port 80 is the port for webpages. Your browser defaults to 80.

Thats the destination.
The source port is dynamic.

Try resetting the router to factory defaults and see if it does the same thing.

I haven't seen any router do that.
