Discover open ports on remote hosts

 

Hi there,

 

There is a very easy way from which you can easily verify that your ports are opened or not!

 

You can try this website for 3rd party tools to get you verified about opening of ports " https://portforward.com/ "

 

However I am also going to tell you about manual method how to check your ports,

 

You can use "Telnet" with this address " 127.0.0.1 8080 ".

 

"127.0.0.1" here it is meant as a "Local Host", don't get confuse.

 

Another method is go to this URL " http://www.canyouseeme.org/ "

 

This page will serve you as a free utility to verify your port status, whether its open or closed. It will be useful for users who wish to check to see if a server is running or a firewall or ISP.
