<p>I have a server running on 8000 and I know of some running
multiple stations all through port 80 (which I would think was
worse). Never heard of any major problems and my logs usually look
okay.<br>
</p>
<p>Good practice is to check the logs now and then and block
appropriate IP's causing problems if needed. I wouldn't just set
and forget a server regardless of what it was. But background
scanners and the likes are pretty tiny amounts of traffic.</p>
<p>If someone uses a port scanner to see what's open on a host it
doesn't matter what port it's on.</p>

Hi all,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Are there any serious security risks for leaving
port 8000 open to public use on icecast? I had wanted to limit
to 8443 but it seems some radio devices cannot support this
protocol.</div>

<div class="">Thanks,</div>
