01 Security

Is port 2250 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 2250. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for other services services:

  • 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.

03 Check it

Which program uses port 2250, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :2250'      # process listening on 2250
sudo lsof -nP -i :2250

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :2250

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 2250 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 2250
netstat -ano | findstr :2250

From another machine

nmap -p 2250 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 2250 <host>
nc -zv <host> 2250

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 2250/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 2250" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 2250 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 2250 used for?

Port 2250 is assigned by IANA to remote-collab (remote-collab).

Is port 2250 TCP or UDP?

Port 2250 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 2250?

It depends on the program that listens on it. Open it only for a service you know and only to the networks that need it. Close the port if nothing on the host needs it.

How do I check if port 2250 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :2250'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :2250", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :2250" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 2250 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
