Why does `antctl status` open 500 connections for each node?

I observed this on my OpenWRT router. Every time I run antctl status, the amount of conntrack entries increases by about 500 per node, and get removed soon after. Shouldn’t status be possible to deduce entirely locally?

Do not know if applies to this, but generally 500 connections (is that what conntrack means?) in a short time sounds like a rest api which is called with keepalive=false. Another thing is why routed outside of the local computer?

Edit: But nevertheless, I’m not observing anything like that?
