- 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 7802: Virtualized Network Services Tunnel Protocol
Port 7802 is assigned by IANA to vns-tp (Virtualized Network Services Tunnel Protocol).

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

Which program uses port 7802, and is it reachable?
Linux
sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :7802' # process listening on 7802
sudo lsof -nP -i :7802macOS
sudo lsof -nP -i :7802
Windows (PowerShell)
Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 7802 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 7802 netstat -ano | findstr :7802
From another machine
nmap -p 7802 -sV <host> sudo nmap -sU -p 7802 <host> nc -zv <host> 7802
Block it in the firewall

What is port 7802 used for?
Port 7802 is assigned by IANA to vns-tp (Virtualized Network Services Tunnel Protocol).
Is port 7802 TCP or UDP?
Port 7802 is registered for UDP.
Is it safe to open port 7802?
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 7802 is open?
On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :7802'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :7802", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :7802" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 7802 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
