Re: source loopback dest loopback:953. Have I misconfigured something?

Hi, i have the same issue as the OP in the above post,, loopback going to port 953 and i have no idea why, it wasn't when i installed pfsense and i haven't changed anything .

I have pfblocker and surratica installed other than those 2 it is a pretty standard install, would any of these 2 apps cause loopback to point to port 953?

Can anyone offer any more info please.

Below was the only reply to the above post.

rndc — name server control utility

It has something to do with BIND.

@bassit
Not bind, but close.

Execute this

sockstat | grep 953

and you see who it is.

For the same purpose as bind.
It's the control port, only bound to 127.0.0.1
