- Serve it over HTTPS only and check the HTTP security headers.
- Keep admin consoles and development servers off the Internet.
- Patch the application server and remove default credentials and sample apps.

Which program uses port 3631, and is it reachable?
Linux
sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :3631' # process listening on 3631
sudo lsof -nP -i :3631macOS
sudo lsof -nP -i :3631
Windows (PowerShell)

From another machine
nmap -p 3631 -sV <host> sudo nmap -sU -p 3631 <host> nc -zv <host> 3631
