Why Is This Website Port Scanning Me?
In a store you can read the sign. Where is the sign saying that the port is not for you?

But when I'm visiting a website, I am not a "store". These ports are on localhost, that's more like asking where is the sign saying that my bedroom door is not for you to try and open. However, I will
tell
you behind which door the bathroom is.

Any port that is not advertised to you isn’t okay to probe.
