That's because the default port of the Admin Console instance "doubles up" as management port. At the very minimum, you would front that port with a webserver that will only forward internet requests to the appropriate contexts pointing to applications; but to be honest, if you're exposing the Admin Console instance at all, you have bigger problems from a design and security perspective.

I don't think this is about the admin console. The author only used the admin tools to create a t3 server request. The only thing you really need is a server accepting the t3 protocol (=Weblogic RMI). Which is every node, not only the admin node / a node with a deployed admin console.

A load balancer / forwarding web server might filter the t3 requests, but I wouldn't want to rely on this. Also t3 can be tunneled over http (although this is not enabled in the default configuration).
