I don't recall my applications access these two ports explicitly.

So, what are Port 2086 and 8880?

Port 2086

TCP port 2086 uses the Transmission Control Protocol. TCP is one of the main protocols in TCP/IP networks. TCP is a connection-oriented protocol, it requires handshaking to set up end-to-end communications. Only when a connection is set up user's data can be sent bi-directionally over the connection.

Port 8880

Port 8880 is commonly associated with the alternative HTTP port for the web management interface of the Squid proxy server. Squid is a popular caching and forwarding HTTP proxy that is used to improve web performance, reduce bandwidth usage, and provide content filtering.
By default, HTTP traffic is typically served on port 80. However, some systems or network configurations may use port 8880 as an alternative HTTP port to avoid conflicts with other services that may already be using port 80.
It's important to note that port 8880 may be used for other purposes depending on the specific system or network configuration. In some cases, it may be assigned to a different service or application altogether. To determine the exact usage of port 8880 in your specific context, it is advisable to check the documentation or configuration of the relevant software or network infrastructure.
