Windows 11 must not have portproxy enabled or in use.
Discussion
Having portproxy enabled or configured in Windows 10 could allow a man-in-the-middle attack.
Check Procedure
Check the registry key for existence of proxied ports: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\PortProxy\. If the key contains v4tov4\tcp\ or is populated v4tov4\tcp\, this is a finding. Run "netsh interface portproxy show all". If the command displays any results, this is a finding.
Fix Action
Contact the Administrator to run "netsh interface portproxy delete" with elevation. Remove any enabled portproxies that may be configured.
