My questian is, what is the job of this allowed port
-
In the release 2022 W11 for Nexus 5 is the port shown in the first picture allowed for anywere.
Why is this Port allowed out of the Box?
-
@chris-guddh My ufw shows another port - that I haven't allowed. I wonder if it's not for updates motives, or the first ping to canonical when the phone boots. Btw, i believe ufw is disabled by default on the system is it not ?

It is. There are no servers running on the system by default.

I'm pretty sure nothing is listening on the port out of the box. And ufw is not enabled, nor are any servers running and listening on any ports by default.
We do not know what you've done otherwise on your system, as it's clear you've done something else though, if you have something listening on said port, and enabled ufw. It seems you've at least installed some extra indicator as well.
You should use
lsofornetstatthen to figure out what service is listening on that port. Nobody here can give you an answer, not knowing what you've done to your system. -
@chris-guddh oh !! Actually I'm indeed the one who allowed this port in a desperate attempt to have transmission work over LTE ^^ i feel so dumb. But hey ! Now I know how netstat works !

I turned off my phone before sending dobey a UFW log file. (2022.06.11 europe)
Since then I had considered whether I allowed this port myself. But I would rule that out 75% of the time.
Is there no one else who uses UFW but me?
I think listening ports or not. the purpose is certainly not in vain. I mean.
