Internet-Security.com TCP port 2096 details

TCP port 2096 is widely used by cPanel/WHM for secure Webmail (HTTPS).
It serves cPanel’s Webmail interface (Roundcube, historically Horde) at URLs like https://yourdomain:2096/.
Hosting providers that deploy cPanel (e.g., HostGator, Bluehost, A2 Hosting, GoDaddy cPanel plans) expose 2096 for customer webmail access.
Cloudflare includes 2096 in its list of supported HTTPS ports, commonly used to proxy cPanel Webmail through Cloudflare to the origin server.
cPanel firewall guides (e.g., CSF or firewalld configurations) explicitly require opening TCP 2096 for secure webmail.
Because it fronts cPanel login pages, attackers frequently scan/brute-force services on 2096 to steal webmail credentials.
