sudo lsof -nP -i :10080

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :10080

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 10080 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 10080
netstat -ano | findstr :10080

From another machine

nmap -p 10080 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 10080 <host>
nc -zv <host> 10080
