Port 80 and port 8080 are default HTTP ports. If you close these ports you wont reach out to the internet.
This could be from a log of some kind.

80 is http, 8080 is commonly used for individual webservers, like application servers. Shouldnt be dangerous

Port 808 is a alternate webserver port.

History:
The Internet was largely born on UNIX-based systems and servers. UNIX enforces the notion of the first 1023 "privileged ports" which can only be opened by services running with so-called "root", or administrative, privileges. Historically, this meant that only authorized system administrators were able to establish and operate a web server on port 80 since this was within the first 1023-port privileged region. Therefore, when non-administrators wished to run their own web servers on machines which might already have a server running on port 80, or when they were not authorized to run services below port 1024, port 8080 was often chosen as a convenient place to host a secondary or alternate web server.

Despite what everyone else has said, 8080 is also used for proxies (not sure if that was an obvious one).

Yes, ****** also teaches you more about grammar.
