Cannot determine port number that OPNSense is specifying. #7658

I have only just setup OPNSense. I have not even started to use it.

I was looking at the Reporting > Insight page and under the "Top usage ports / sources" it shows several ports that are referred to by some nickname instead of just showing the actual port number. For example, "ircd".

I have looked around and cannot find a definitive answer as to what port number this is supposed to correspond to in the OPNSense documentation or on lists of well-known ports.

I have also looked for a way to disable these nicknames and have not found one.

Seeing as these "nicknames" often don't correspond to the actual usage at hand, I feel as if I've spent 15-20 minutes now trying to resolve a problem that really shouldn't exist, and that someone spent time and effort just to increase the amount of time it takes to identify what port is being used. Before it took less than a second, now it seems to not even be possible with any certainty.

Either way I've already spent an entirely unacceptable amount of time simply trying to figure out what port the UI is referring to. I can't understand why someone has decided to make this process take more than 0 seconds.

I'm honestly hoping this is some sort of mistake or that I have just missed something simple. It's extreme discouraging that something so simple would be made so difficult.

I don't know why someone took the time to implement these port names so rigorously into this application but it's maddening. Please just let me see and type port numbers.

Do you mean this?

Thank you @doktornotor for linking that third-party resource.

I don't think my Google Home Minis are running IRC servers.

Not a fan of the service names either, though I'm not using the netflow feature any more - it's eating SSDs for lunch.
