Hi Guys,
This is my first post so go easy on me
Been with as shared host for an number of years and only recently (last week) moved to a dedicated box with DA as the user interface.
All seems to be going well and I like DA so far.
Although my question is non-DA related I am hoping someone would be kind enough to lend a helpinhg hand.
Okay I have just installed apf as my firewall. It all looks very straight forward and I don't think I have any major issues, except possibly one!
I have just checked my syslog and with the apf enabled I get a log every few seconds.
My shared server ip is = 65.215.220.188
and 65.248.51.5 is one of my static ip's (not used yet).
If I am reading this log right (and I am most probably not).
There seems to be an incoming TCP connection every few seconds from different ip's all on different source ports. All trying to connect to 65.248.51.5 on port 8754.
Now my question is why? What is port 8754 used for and why are all these ip's trying to access it with my ip of 65.248.51.5
Is this a problem or am I missing somthing?
Many thanks in advance
