- 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.

sudo lsof -nP -i :1369macOS
sudo lsof -nP -i :1369
Windows (PowerShell)

From another machine
nmap -p 1369 -sV <host> sudo nmap -sU -p 1369 <host> nc -zv <host> 1369

Is port 1369 TCP or UDP?
Port 1369 is registered for TCP and UDP.
Is it safe to open port 1369?
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 1369 is open?
On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :1369'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :1369", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :1369" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 1369 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
