Port 179 open on huawei-b525s-23a

Post by Terence »

Hello I recently buy a 4G Huawei-b525s-23a router.

But when I use, http://iotscanner.bullguard.com/

Port 179 is detected open.

I wonder how closed is going on this router I just bought.

Thank you in advance for your replies.

Port 179 is typically used for BGP (Border Gateway Protocol), not sure why it would be open your router.. I'd make sure it is scanning your IP address first. Could have to do something with the LTE network, not sure?
