since its my local port does this still mean that my computer is communicating with an outside source computer? 

Why did my computer label my port under the tab 'foreign address'?

I don't even know what your initial post means about an established connection. [::1]:8307 I believe means that that computer is listening on 8307. That's all it means as far as I'm concerned. It doesn't mean it's connected or whatever else. It's just a port on a computer.

Q: Do I have a virus?!
A: If you didn't click a sketchy email, haven't left your computer physically open to attack, haven't downloaded anything sketchy/free, know that your software hasn't been exploited in a new hack, then the answer is: probably not.

 

Q: What email/VPN should I use?
A: Proton mail and VPN are the best for email and VPNs respectively. (They're free in a good way)

 

Q: How can I stay anonymous on the (deep/dark) webzz???....

A: By learning how to de-anonymize everyone else; if you can do that, then you know what to do for yourself.

 

Q: What Linux distro is best for x y z?

A: Lubuntu for things with little processing power, Ubuntu for normal PCs, and if you need to do anything else then it's best if you do the research yourself.

 

Q: Why is my Linux giving me x y z error?

A: Have you not googled it? Are you sure StackOverflow doesn't have an answer? Does the error tell you what's wrong? If the answer is no to all of those, message me.

Can you show us exactly what you're seeing? ::1 is not a foreign IP so it should be all internal communication.

I suggest you google for the answer. I doubt you're going to learn tons by me giving answers to your networking questions here. Read documentation. Read stackoverflow. Use the man command.

2607:f8b0:4007:807::200e is an IPv6 address from an external source (in this case Google). 443 is the port (HTTPS) meaning that the Google IP is accessing your device via HTTPS.

or the opposite most likely. The user's computer has probably made the connection to the google HTTPS server.

Looking to buy GTX690, other multi-GPU cards, or single-slot graphics cards:

Could be, the OP didn't provide any real information except that he's using VMware so I assumed it was a server somewhere since most residential ISPs haven't adopted IPv6 which led me to think that Google was indexing the vSphere web interface. Looking back at the rest of the thread I was probably mistaken. :)

 

EDIT: After looking at the post again I noticed I was reading it wrong. :)
