FAQ

Does a port number guarantee which service is running?

No. Ports are conventions; any service can listen on any port, so verify on the server.

What's the difference between TCP and UDP?

TCP is connection-oriented and reliable; UDP is faster but doesn't guarantee delivery. DNS and games use UDP.

What are well-known ports?

Ports 0–1023 are well-known ports, usually reserved for system services.
