These connections you are seeing are accessing/using Firefox services that are hosted on rented servers from google. What you are seeing is the reverse DNS of the IP which is a machine name that contains the IP in reverse notation, which is probably some scheme being used to make listing, sorting and identifing machines a little easier on their end.

in file names, package names config settings etc. A common trend today when coming up with unique indentifiers is to reverse the domain name, you’ll quite often see “…”, “…” etc.

The server in this case contains the reverse of it’s IPv4 address in it’s DNS name. netstat -n should show the IP address only. Netstat by default is showing you the results of a reverse DNS lookup of the IP address rather than the actual IP address. How that putting the IP address in reverse order is a thing I don’t understand, not how IPv4 works that I ever heard. So it’s about trying to get rid of that or using a different browser.ĬOMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAMEįirefox-e 3558 user 106u IPv4 127333 0t0 TCP 10.98.0.2:54148-> 55.65.117.34.bc.:https (ESTABLISHED) the reverse order of the IP address but the point is you’re correct it definitely seems to be Firefox that’s bringing it up, and this is esr 115.3.1 with strict custom cookie controls in place. Starting the browser again brought the connection back which netstat says is: If you use google maps and go to the physical address given is shows a Google data center. Thanks and Yes I noticed the IP came out in reverse in the whois lookups but I don’t know why.
