# WHATPORT(1296)

## NAME

port 1296 — dproxy — Registered as dproxy, with no assignee and no protocol specification on record.

Protocol: TCP/UDP  
IANA registry

## DESCRIPTION

IANA lists 1296 on TCP and UDP under the service name dproxy, described only as "dproxy", with no assignee. The name collides with several unrelated proxy projects, so it does not pin down any particular software, and no specification is published for the registered use. Nothing notable is documented as habitually listening on 1296.

## EXPOSURE

**Expose with care.** Any proxy reachable from untrusted networks risks being used as an open relay; identify the process and confirm it is not forwarding for strangers.

## CHECK

```sh
sudo lsof -nP -iTCP:1296 -sTCP:LISTEN
```
