5001

commplex-link / Synology DSM HTTPS / iperf 2

Registered as commplex-link, but in practice Synology DSM over HTTPS or an iperf 2 server.

TCP IANA registry

Description

The IANA name for 5001 is commplex-link, a registration with no public protocol behind it, so what you actually meet on this port is a squatter. On a home or small-office network it is usually a Synology NAS: DSM's web interface answers HTTP on 5000 and HTTPS on 5001 by default. On a lab or transit-test host it is more often an iperf 2 server, whose default listen port is 5001 (iperf3 moved to 5201).

Exposed to the internet?

Expose with care

A DSM login page on the public internet is a brute-force magnet — put it behind a VPN or reverse proxy with MFA. An iperf server accepts traffic from anyone who finds it and should never be left running on a public address.
