Registered in 2004 as "WebFilter Remote Monitor" — a vendor remote-monitoring port with no public spec.
IANA assigns 1046 to wfremotertm, "WebFilter Remote Monitor", registered in November 2004 to an individual assignee. It describes a remote monitoring channel for a web-filtering product; no protocol documentation or implementation is publicly available. Open ports at 1046 on modern scans are usually unrelated, most often dynamically assigned RPC endpoints on legacy Windows systems.
Do not expose
A remote monitoring channel for a filtering appliance is an administrative plane with visibility into user browsing — it belongs on a management network, not the internet.
