  • Close the port if nothing on the host needs it.
  • Identify the process that listens on it (commands below) before opening it in a firewall.
  • Expose a service only to the networks that use it.

netstat -ano | findstr :1631

From another machine

nmap -p 1631 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 1631 <host>
nc -zv <host> 1631
