Is port 3476 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 3476. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for other services services:

  • 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.

03 Check it

Which program uses port 3476, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :3476'      # process listening on 3476
sudo lsof -nP -i :3476

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :3476

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 3476 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 3476
netstat -ano | findstr :3476

From another machine

nmap -p 3476 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 3476 <host>
nc -zv <host> 3476

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 3476/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 3476" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 3476 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 3476 used for?

Port 3476 is assigned by IANA to nppmp (NVIDIA Mgmt Protocol).

Is port 3476 TCP or UDP?

Port 3476 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 3476?

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 3476 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :3476'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :3476", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :3476" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 3476 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
