Is Port Checker free to use?

Yes, Port Checker on DevHexLab is completely free. No login, no account, and no payment required.

Does Port Checker upload my data to a server?

No. Port Checker runs entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your data never leaves your device and is never sent to any server.

Can I use Port Checker offline?

Yes. Once the page is loaded, Port Checker works without an internet connection because all processing happens locally in your browser.

What category does Port Checker belong to?

Port Checker belongs to the "Developer Utilities" category on DevHexLab. A grab-bag of everyday developer tools: UUID generation, QR code creation, regex testing, SQL formatting, mock data generation, environment-variable parsing, and more. These are the utilities you reach for constantly but do not want to write yourself every time.

Port Checker

Port Lookup

Enter a port number (1–65535) to see what service it is associated with.

Port Ranges

Well-Known Ports

0 – 1023

Assigned by IANA. Require root/admin privileges.

Registered Ports

1024 – 49151

Registered with IANA for specific services.

Dynamic / Private

49152 – 65535

Ephemeral ports used by clients and private apps.

Why can't browsers scan ports?

Browsers cannot perform raw TCP connections to arbitrary ports due to security restrictions (CORS, same-origin policy, and sandboxing). Port scanning requires OS-level socket access.
