I was going through the hardinfo application and when I got to "IP

"Established" status using TCP and both on port 443 (SSL and HTTPS).
One of these connections is to 71.62.0.176 (which doesn't seem to have
a listing in the whois database that means anything) and
88.169.124.190 which points to http://www.proxad.net according to whois
What applications could I have on my machine that would establish tcp
connections with either of these using ssl/https?
Also, although I was under the impression that the portmap service was
not enabled at boot up, it would appear that it is running in the
background. I recall that portmap used to be a security risk, but is
this still the case and should I be concerned?
Thanks

Through a process of elimination I have established that these are both
TOR nodes, which jibes with my set up. I'm standing down the National
Guard :)
Any comments tho' on portmapper?
