- 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 635: RLZ DBase
Port 635 is assigned by IANA to rlzdbase (RLZ DBase).

How rlzdbase works
Databases & cachesThe application sends a SQL query to the rlzdbase server on port 635, which returns rows from its tables.

Is port 635 dangerous?
We have no specific security note for port 635. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for databases & caches services:
IANA registry entries for port 635
| Service | Port | Transport | Description | Reference | Updated |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| rlzdbase | 635 | TCP, UDP | RLZ DBase | - | - |
// source: IANA service name and port number registry
Which program uses port 635, and is it reachable?
Linux
sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :635' # process listening on 635
sudo lsof -nP -i :635macOS
sudo lsof -nP -i :635
Windows (PowerShell)
Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 635 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 635 netstat -ano | findstr :635
From another machine
nmap -p 635 -sV <host> sudo nmap -sU -p 635 <host> nc -zv <host> 635
Block it in the firewall
sudo ufw deny 635/tcp # Linux (ufw) New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 635" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 635 -Protocol TCP -Action Block # Windows
What is port 635 used for?
Port 635 is assigned by IANA to rlzdbase (RLZ DBase).
Is port 635 TCP or UDP?
Port 635 is registered for TCP and UDP.
Is it safe to open port 635?
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 635 is open?
On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :635'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :635", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :635" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 635 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
