What is the Port Checker?

The Port Checker tests whether a specific TCP port on a remote host is open and accepting connections. This is useful for verifying that web servers, database servers, email servers, and other services are accessible from the internet, and for diagnosing firewall or network configuration issues.

Common ports: 80 (HTTP), 443 (HTTPS), 22 (SSH), 21 (FTP), 25/587 (SMTP email), 3306 (MySQL), 5432 (PostgreSQL), 3389 (RDP). If a port shows as closed when it should be open, the service is not running, a firewall is blocking it, or the port is correctly filtered for security.

How to use the Port Checker

Enter a hostname or IP address and a port number (1 - 65535), then click Check Port. The tool attempts a TCP connection and reports whether the port is open (connection accepted), closed (connection refused), or filtered (no response, likely firewall-blocked).

Use the common ports quick-select buttons to test standard service ports without typing port numbers manually.

Frequently asked questions

It tests whether a specific TCP port is open and reachable on a given host from the public internet - useful for verifying firewall rules and service availability.
Common reasons are firewall rules, the service not running, the service bound only to localhost, or the host blocking external connections.
No. For safety the tool blocks scans against private (10.x, 192.168.x, 172.16-31.x) and reserved IP ranges.
Open ports usually respond in under a second. Closed or filtered ports wait up to a 5-second timeout before reporting.
