What is port 2376?

Port 2376 is the TLS-secured version of the Docker daemon API. It requires mutual TLS with client certificates for authentication, making it significantly safer than port 2375. It is used for remote Docker host management. Even with TLS enabled, access should be restricted to trusted IP addresses or exposed only through a VPN.
