Funny enough, the site is reporting port 3000 to be running a web server. It is not - according do nmap and my knowledge.

Any ideas on this?

If like me you saw the bright red text "If you see any results like localhost:3000 is available!" as meaning :3000 was actually available, it's just an example. The yellow box above seems to be where the results would actually be.

I must admit, it was exactly this. I read the text without using my brain properly.

Please accept my sincere apologies.

I did exactly the same thing and spent too long running various things to find out what on Earth was using the port! Only reason I had a good guess at what it may have been.
