- Patch VPN gateways quickly: they are a top initial access target.
- Use certificates or MFA rather than shared secrets.
- Investigate unexpected tunnels and proxies: they are also attacker tools.
Port 2335: ACE Proxy
Port 2335 is assigned by IANA to ace-proxy (ACE Proxy).

How ace-proxy works
VPN, tunnels & proxiesTraffic is wrapped in a tunnel between the two ends, so the network in between only sees the tunnel.

Is port 2335 dangerous?
We have no specific security note for port 2335. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for vpn, tunnels & proxies services:

Which program uses port 2335, and is it reachable?
Linux
sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :2335' # process listening on 2335
sudo lsof -nP -i :2335macOS
sudo lsof -nP -i :2335
Windows (PowerShell)
Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 2335 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 2335 netstat -ano | findstr :2335
From another machine
nmap -p 2335 -sV <host> sudo nmap -sU -p 2335 <host> nc -zv <host> 2335
Block it in the firewall
sudo ufw deny 2335/tcp # Linux (ufw) New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 2335" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 2335 -Protocol TCP -Action Block # Windows
What is port 2335 used for?
Port 2335 is assigned by IANA to ace-proxy (ACE Proxy).
Is port 2335 TCP or UDP?
Port 2335 is registered for TCP and UDP.
Is it safe to open port 2335?
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. Patch VPN gateways quickly: they are a top initial access target.
How do I check if port 2335 is open?
On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :2335'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :2335", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :2335" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 2335 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
