71.11.8.230.1010 is an IP address and port combination used to identify a particular computer or server connected to the Internet. The four numbers, 71.11.8.230, make up the IP address, while the four digits, 1010, make up the port. An IP address and port combination can be used to connect to a server or remote computer, usually over the Internet or a Local Area Network. Most computers will use a standard port for connecting, like 80 for web traffic or 21 for FTP traffic. The use of non-standard ports can help to restrict access to particular services, providing a greater level of security.
