- 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 3772: Chantry Tunnel Protocol
Port 3772 is assigned by IANA to ctp (Chantry Tunnel Protocol).

How ctp works

Which program uses port 3772, and is it reachable?
Linux
sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :3772' # process listening on 3772
sudo lsof -nP -i :3772macOS
sudo lsof -nP -i :3772
Windows (PowerShell)
Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 3772 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 3772 netstat -ano | findstr :3772
From another machine
nmap -p 3772 -sV <host> sudo nmap -sU -p 3772 <host> nc -zv <host> 3772
Block it in the firewall

What is port 3772 used for?
Port 3772 is assigned by IANA to ctp (Chantry Tunnel Protocol).
Is port 3772 TCP or UDP?
Port 3772 is registered for TCP and UDP.
Is it safe to open port 3772?
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 3772 is open?
On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :3772'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :3772", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :3772" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 3772 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
