Hello!

I’ve just installed the software probe on my OpenWrt 24.10 router:

```auto
opkg install ripe-atlas-common_5120-r1_aarch64_cortex-a53.ipk
opkg install ripe-atlas-probe_5120-r1_aarch64_cortex-a53.ipk
service ripe-atlas enable
service ripe-atlas start

```

I’ve registered its public key and received confirmation of it being registered (probe ID: 1015555)

Additinally I’ve opened inbound TCP connections from ports 2023 and 8080 , and outbound TCP connection on port 443 on the router.

Unfortunatelly it seems to be unable to connect and I can’t figure out why.

Running netstat on port 2023 produces following results:

```auto
root@RouteRich:~# netstat -tulpn | grep "2023"
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:2023 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 22347/telnetd

```

Using iftop shows no activity on port 2023.

I would appreciate if you could explain what am I missing in configuration.

Best regards,

---

Here is additional output from system log:
