Please take note, that this will not improve any security. https://www.shodan.io will scan every port in default range and detect you application anyway. Using nmap you can even scan a custom portrange.
Sorry I wasn’t clear, by security, I meant that I’d like to block the port used for the UI, except from specific IP addresses. Changing the port of the UI was only a means to this end (so as not to block the tracking traffic as well).
My concern is that by default, the UI and tracking calls seem to share the 80/443 ports… do you know if UI and tracking can be separated out?
By default every single HTML/PHP application shares these two ports, so I do not know a possibility to put the UI on a different port as it is the same application.
Thanks Fabian, makes sense… I wondered if they might be separate applications sharing DNS & ports, but differentiated by path, so good to know for sure.
Blocking before reaching that application would be preferable, but appreciate that’s not an option, so will follow your advice.
Thanks again!
