I’ve got a lineageos phone and I was just scanning my network to find my server and saw it had port 3283 open with the service netassistant. Apparently it’s an apple remote desktop reporting thing, but I have barely got any apps installed. The apps I have are:

  • newpipe
  • osmand+
  • neo store
  • kde connect

I can rule out kde connect from this because it uses port 1714-1764. It is an official build with no Gapps.

    Not so with me. This is my list of open ports, as reported by a Termux session with root access. I happen to know the open ports are bound by AdAway.

    ~# netstat -tanu | grep LISTEN
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:443           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:80            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
~#

    Most likely, you’re seeing ports opened by an app. Most Android apps don’t have access to /proc/net to view port bindings, but if you have root and termux, you can use lsof -i :<portnum> to see what process is bound to that port.

    You’d need to install lsof from repos first.
