Port 111 is open. I searched the internet for it and the results are very vague. What I was able to deduce is that it has something to do with NFS-service (Network File System Services).
My question: how was this port opened? By what program? Is it even possible to find out? I would very much like to find out before I start working on it.
rpcbind is a server. Check to see if the service is enabled to start at boot up. It does not appear that you are running nfs or anything that requires it, so just disable it.
