tencent checking server ports

[awesome]

so i look at my server logs because i wasn't on my PC most of the day and i see tencent's IP "139.199.23.167, Connected."

how come they check if port is open when there's no way they could randomly guess my ip and also it's not run on port 7000 but on port 7001

i check with an online open port checker website my server IP and Port and it says on the logs "Connected" + website IP

so they probably connect by scanning IP and ports

where do they get my IP from?

This is normal, there are bots that scan the whole internet on a frequent basis connecting to all IP addresses incrementally - its nothing to worry about.
