Port Checker

Check whether a specific port is open on a host and reachable over the network.

Tool

Use this port checker to test whether a target host is listening on a specific port. It is useful for troubleshooting service availability, confirming whether a firewall may be blocking access, checking whether an app is exposed on the expected port, and verifying connectivity to common TCP services.

Common errors

Only a hostname is entered without a port value.

Fix: Add the specific port you want to test.

The host responds to ping, but the port still looks closed.

Fix: Remember that host reachability does not mean the target service port is open.

A port is assumed to be blocked when the app is not running.

Fix: Check whether a service is actually listening on that port before blaming the firewall.
