> [@Mathiau](#): > > 8883 So found out 8883 is used for online / offline status of your camera, if this port is blocked your Camera’s will show as offline in the app. Now for the other ports please? ---

It is sad that after 4 years Wyze still hasn’t cared enough to answer your question. I had a ton of connections going to port 100001 in all kinds of strange places in different countries. It is supposed to be for local live P2P streaming. I blocked that port and found that I can view my cameras if I’m on my network with it blocked, but, if I am at another location, I cannot. This makes sense. What I don’t understand is why there were connections going all over the place. I can only assume that that Wyze’s network isn’t trustworthy and people were viewing my cameras all over the world. A few other ports I see in use are 8080, 8000, and 21047. The cameras work good, but, I don’t trust them at all from a security standpoint. ---

@jemiller, It’s Wikipedia but is a good read and sited. > **[Ephemeral port](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephemeral_port?origin=serp_auto)** > > An ephemeral port is a communications endpoint (port) of a transport layer protocol of the Internet protocol suite that is used for only a short period of time for the duration of a communication session. Such short-lived ports are allocated automatically within a predefined range of port numbers by the IP stack software of a computer operating system. The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), and the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) typically use an ep... ![Screenshot_20241103_084008_Edge](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wyze/original/3X/e/e/eeeae4f4ee5ce6e3aaa159a6a0fc72dd57d9eeb6.jpeg) I don’t for a minute think Wyze is allowing your cameras to stream to the internet unobstructed. I would be more worried if you had any ports open inbound, unless your port forwarding. As I’ve posted before: [grc.com](http://grc.com) and a test named “shields up” is one of the best tests in my toolbox. Your goal is for your home network to be in “stealth mode”. ---
