Localhost connected to producer node

Just wanted to seek some advice / clarification here. I’ve set up a pool on the testnet using cntools with 1 bp and 1 relay. Everything seems to be working, it’s just that checking gLiveView on BP shows Incoming: 2, Outgoing: 1. Checking peer analysis shows that the other incoming is coming from 127.0.0.1:46530.
Is this normal or did I do something wrong?
I only have 2 ufw rules set up on my BP, first being to allow ssh connection from port X, and the second being to allow my Relay IP to be connected my BP port.

Just wanted to check also if the incoming and outgoing ports shown in peer analysis for my relay port should be the same?

this is from cncli … if you will stop cncli it will show you 1/1
you can test it

Just wanted to check also if the incoming and outgoing ports shown in peer analysis for my relay port should be the same?

only the out connection will have the port specified inside topology file

for example
BP random port ----------------------> 6000 port Relay
BP 6000 port <------------------------- random port Relay

when a server will etablish a connection will need a source and destination port (the source will be chosen randomly and the destination port will be the port defined inside the topology file)

cheers,
