A Reference That Keeps Out of the Way

No popups, no signup, and the whole table is already in the page you loaded.

Instant filtering

Web, mail, remote access, database, messaging and big data services are all included.

Local and private

Searching happens in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to the 73hi server.

Works on mobile

The table scrolls horizontally on small screens, so the reference is readable on a phone.

Questions and answers

Common Network Ports FAQ

Is this port list free?

Yes. The port reference is free with no signup and it runs entirely in your browser.

How many ports are listed?

The reference ships with 45 widely used ports covering web, mail, remote access, database, messaging and big data services.

Can I search by service name?

Yes. You can search by port number, service name such as SSH or Redis, or any words from the description.

What is the difference between TCP and UDP ports?

TCP establishes a connection and retransmits lost packets, which suits web, mail and database traffic. UDP is connectionless and faster, which suits DNS queries, streaming and real-time traffic. Port numbers are separate namespaces for each protocol, so TCP port 53 and UDP port 53 are different ports.

Which ports should never be exposed publicly?

Database and administration ports such as 3306 for MySQL, 5432 for PostgreSQL, 6379 for Redis, 27017 for MongoDB and 3389 for Remote Desktop should stay behind a firewall. If remote access is required, restrict it to known addresses or place it behind a VPN or an SSH tunnel.

Is my search sent to a server?

No. The port table is part of the page and the filtering runs with JavaScript in your browser, so nothing you type leaves your device.
