  • 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 3301, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :3301'      # process listening on 3301
sudo lsof -nP -i :3301

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :3301

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 3301 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 3301
netstat -ano | findstr :3301

From another machine

nmap -p 3301 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 3301 <host>
nc -zv <host> 3301

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 3301/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :3301'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :3301", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :3301" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 3301 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
