I like your 2nd option. I always assumed 5080 was safe because it isn't the
SIP port. It is listed as the "OnScreen Data Collection Service" in the
official port number database (
https://www.iana.org/assignments/service-names-port-numbers/service-names-port-numbers.xhtml?&page=89),
but I guess the hackers know the SIP people like to use it. I'll try
switching to another port.
