SAV linux high UDP Ports

I just installed SAV for linux free version. I was wondering why savscand opens these high udp ports and if its possible to close them?

[root@l~]# netstat -tulnp
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name

udp 4608 0 0.0.0.0:36656 0.0.0.0:* 1249/savscand
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:54017 0.0.0.0:* 1249/savscand
udp 3072 0 0.0.0.0:40971 0.0.0.0:* 1249/savscand
udp 3072 0 0.0.0.0:42822 0.0.0.0:* 1249/savscand

Hello Tellie1,

I don't think you should close them, DouglasLeeder could probably tell what they are for.

Hi,

Those are the ports for receiving Live Protection responses.

SAV uses DNS over UDP to do Live Protection lookups.

If you turn off Live Protection those connections won't be made, but your protection will be worse.

Thanks,

Douglas.
