- 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.

Which program uses port 10020, and is it reachable?
Linux
sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :10020' # process listening on 10020
sudo lsof -nP -i :10020macOS
sudo lsof -nP -i :10020
Windows (PowerShell)
Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 10020 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 10020 netstat -ano | findstr :10020
From another machine
nmap -p 10020 -sV <host> nc -zv <host> 10020

Is port 10020 TCP or UDP?
Port 10020 is registered for TCP.
Is it safe to open port 10020?
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. Close the port if nothing on the host needs it.
How do I check if port 10020 is open?
On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :10020'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :10020", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :10020" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 10020 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
