03 Check it

Which program uses port 3520, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :3520'      # process listening on 3520
sudo lsof -nP -i :3520

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :3520

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 3520 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 3520
netstat -ano | findstr :3520

From another machine

nmap -p 3520 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 3520 <host>
nc -zv <host> 3520

Block it in the firewall
