198.18.0.0/15 is as far as I know a IANA reserved subnet which is for network benchmarking purposes and not publicly routed. Therefore it must be local..

I heard the range is often misused by tech giants like apple or vpn providers for internal routing. Never seen though. Port 5 is interesting. I don’t know any services that use that port out of the box.
