Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean if a port is open?

An open port means a service is listening on that port and accepting connections. This is normal for services you want to be publicly accessible.

What does it mean if a port is closed?

A closed port means either no service is running on that port, or a firewall is blocking access. This could be intentional for security.

Why can't I check some ports?

Some ports may be blocked by your ISP or network firewall. Additionally, the remote server may have firewall rules blocking checks from certain IPs.

Is it safe to have ports open?

Open ports are necessary for services but can be security risks. Only open necessary ports and ensure services are properly secured and updated.
