LAN side of Surf SOHO has port 8183 open. why?

[Michael234]

An nmap scan of the LAN side of my Surf SOHO (v2 running firmware 7.1.2) ) showed TCP port 8183 open. What is it and can it be closed?

The screen shot shows that nmap thinks its “proremote”.

The blacked out port is the alternate I assigned for LAN side web admin UI and should be open. A more detailed nmap scan, shown below, says port 8183 is HTTP and nginx.

nmap -sV -p 8183 192.168.x.x
PORT STATE SERVICE VERSION
8183/tcp open http nginx

Thanks in advance.
And, if anyone knows why port 44,444 shows up at all, I would be curious.

NMAP Scan - ProRemote?

I just ran the following nmap scan: nmap -v -A -p 1-65535 and found two open ports. The first was the port I assigned for admin in lieu of 443. The second was “open port 8183/tcp”, which appears to have something to do with something called ProRemote. I have not enabled remote administration. Should either the admin port or 8183 be open? Should I close it/them? If so, how do I close it/them? Thanks.
