Port 69 tftp?
« on: February 24, 2020, 08:31:38 PM »
Only recently, Avast Security for Mac has been wanting to connect with Port 69 (tftp). Why does it want to do this? Is this safe?

Hi, it's Wi-Fi inspector, scanning for open ports ("Services"). How did you notice it's scanning the port 69 - did you get a popup from firewall?
