1. Open Safari.
2.Type in localhost:80 and you get Mokrane's Portfolio. What is it?
And what is localhost: 3000? I don't even speak Turkish nor hosted any Wordpress sites in years.
Got a tip for us?

I'm guessing https://mokrane.me/ has messed up his DNS settings somehow and included his own local machine** when setting up his site, but I'm not sure enough to bother trying a lookup... I get the same suggestion on my Mac, BTW.
Same with Serkan Ekens "page". I don't get this one, though, so that might be someone in your local network?
** localhost is just your own machine, and 3000 and 8080 are just ports that may be used to access services on your machine. Both 3000, 8080 and 8888 are normal ports for local web servers, that many web developer's run on their local machine, when they develop web pages.
You will not be able to find any of these sites if you go to localhost on your own machine, and unless you run a local server (by enabling Apache, running MAMP, VS Code Live Server, or similar) you won't find anything at https://localhost:8080 or https://localhost:3000

That's odd, because I don't speak Turkish and am connected to my local network alone. I am not even in Turkey. I have no idea who that person might be.
I'm assuming everyone gets the Mokrane's portfolio then but not Serkan EKen's portfolio. I gotta figure out what it is.

The tl;dr version is: It's nothing to worry about.
For the longer version, get a degree in computer science

That didn't help at all. I'm not worried, I'm just curious. I know what the localhost etc are.I just want to know what it's doing in there. Only Mitthrawnuruodo answer is helpful. What is it? Who's Mokrane? What is that Turkish thing? I have no Mamp or xampp even installed nor do I speak Turkish.The tl;dr version is: It's nothing to worry about.
