- 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.

Is it safe to open port 7871?
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 7871 is open?
On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :7871'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :7871", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :7871" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 7871 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
