- Bind the service to localhost or a private network, never to a public address.
- Enable authentication, use per-application accounts and require TLS.
- Watch for exposed Docker ports: publish them on 127.0.0.1 only.
Port 134: INGRES-NET Service
Port 134 is assigned by IANA to ingres-net (INGRES-NET Service).

How ingres-net works
Databases & cachesThe application sends a SQL query to the ingres-net server on port 134, which returns rows from its tables.

Is port 134 dangerous?
We have no specific security note for port 134. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for databases & caches services:
IANA registry entries for port 134
| Service | Port | Transport | Description | Reference | Updated |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ingres-net | 134 | TCP, UDP | INGRES-NET Service | - | - |
// source: IANA service name and port number registry
Which program uses port 134, and is it reachable?
Linux
sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :134' # process listening on 134
sudo lsof -nP -i :134macOS
sudo lsof -nP -i :134
Windows (PowerShell)
Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 134 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 134 netstat -ano | findstr :134
From another machine
nmap -p 134 -sV <host> sudo nmap -sU -p 134 <host> nc -zv <host> 134
Block it in the firewall
sudo ufw deny 134/tcp # Linux (ufw) New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 134" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 134 -Protocol TCP -Action Block # Windows
What is port 134 used for?
Port 134 is assigned by IANA to ingres-net (INGRES-NET Service).
Is port 134 TCP or UDP?
Port 134 is registered for TCP and UDP.
Is it safe to open port 134?
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. Bind the service to localhost or a private network, never to a public address.
How do I check if port 134 is open?
On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :134'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :134", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :134" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 134 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
