Disable builtin mDNS server
-
The Multicast DNS component of
Chromium
(listening on port 5353) has been resistant to getting disabled.It seems adding the command line option
--disable-features=MediaRouter
seems (for now?) the best/only way to turn it off.Creating new topic for documentation purposes, all existing mentions I found here are in archived topics.
And maybe people like @pathduck are still looking for a way to get rid of it. -
@becm Yes, looks like you're right - good find!
Not sure I'm that concerned about disabling it - but nice that it can be done.
Guess I never got anyone with Linux to do the same and run a netstat on their system
-
@Pathduck too lazy to install
netstat
butss -lwut

mDNS
was the last remaining user process.Of course there is a load of local UNIX and NETLINK sockets, but nothing for potential remote access.
