- Why is my chromecast trying to access other devices in my network?
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.pe1uca.dev/post/1434359
> I was trying to debug an issue I have connecting to a NAS, so I was checking the logs of UFW and found out there are a lot of connections being blocked from my chromecast HD (AndroidTV) on different ports via the local IP. > > Sometimes I use jellyfin, but that's over tailscale, so there shouldn't be any traffic over local IP, just over tailscale's IP. > But shouldn't have traffic right now since I wasn't using it and didn't have tailscale on. > > The ports seem random, just sometimes they are tried two times back to back, but afterwards another random port is tried to be accessed. > > After seeing this I enabled UFW in my daily machine and the same type of logs showed up. > > So, do you guys know what could be happening here? > Why is chromecast trying to access random ports on devices in the same network?
