01 Security

Is port 4430 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 4430. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for databases & caches services:

  • 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.

03 Check it

Which program uses port 4430, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :4430'      # process listening on 4430
sudo lsof -nP -i :4430

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :4430

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 4430 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 4430
netstat -ano | findstr :4430

From another machine

nmap -p 4430 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 4430 <host>
nc -zv <host> 4430

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 4430/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 4430" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 4430 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 4430 used for?

Port 4430 is assigned by IANA to rsqlserver (REAL SQL Server).

Is port 4430 TCP or UDP?

Port 4430 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 4430?

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 4430 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :4430'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :4430", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :4430" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 4430 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
