port 80

Port 80 — HTTP

The search for port 80 deserves its own page because the question is usually direct: “is this still used?”.

The role of port 80

  • Port 80 remains the default port for unencrypted HTTP.
  • Today it often appears in automatic redirects to HTTPS and in controlled internal networks.

Practical examples

Expected output
Migração para HTTPS

Common nginx case.

Internal HTTP

Input
app.internal:80
Expected output
Tráfego sem TLS em rede controlada

Depends on context and policy.

Frequently asked questions

Is port 80 insecure?

The issue is the protocol without TLS, not the port number itself.

Do I still need to open 80 in the firewall?

For many sites yes, at least to redirect users and validate certain flows.
