Odd network behaviour caught by firewall - Xperia 10 III

Handle: 25.0.0.0 - 25.255.255.255

Lol, must be nice owning an ipv4 /8 block.
(I know, it’s RIPE, totally explainable. My whois query lists RegDate: 1985-01-28 btw. Fun.)

Anyhoo, ideas that come to mind: cold be the result some round-robin DNS, maybe DNS-Over-HTTPS? NTP (though that would probably use UDP)?

If you catch the event while it is happening, try (on the phone):

devel-su netstat -anp | grep [source port]

Which should gives you the process that owns the connection.

(Or if you want to be fancy about it, use the ss tool instead of netstat.)

devel-su ss -plants  dst = 25.0.0.0/8
devel-su ss -plants  dport = :47600
devel-su ss -plants  dport = :8799
