It would only be a software firewall on the local machine that could
be doing that; anything on any other machine can't. If you have no
particular reason to do otherwise, I would recommend removing all
firewalling from localhost - you won't lose much security (two
programs running on your computer are allowed to communicate freely in
plenty of other ways anyway), and it'll make all sorts of things
easier/simpler.
