Internet TCP port 9040 is commonly used by the Tor network for its Onion Routing protocol. Tor, short for The Onion Router, is a free and open-source software that enables anonymous communication by directing internet traffic through a free, worldwide, volunteer overlay network. This network consists of more than seven thousand relays to conceal a user's location and usage from anyone conducting network surveillance or traffic analysis. Therefore, port 9040 is typically used for the SOCKS protocol in the Tor network.
