01 Security

Is port 1186 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 1186. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for databases & caches services:

  • Bind the service to localhost or a private network, never to a public address.
  • Enable authentication, use per-application accounts and require TLS.
  • Watch for exposed Docker ports: publish them on 127.0.0.1 only.

03 Check it

Which program uses port 1186, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :1186'      # process listening on 1186
sudo lsof -nP -i :1186

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :1186

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 1186 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 1186
netstat -ano | findstr :1186

From another machine

nmap -p 1186 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 1186 <host>
nc -zv <host> 1186

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 1186/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 1186" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 1186 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 1186 used for?

Port 1186 is assigned by IANA to mysql-cluster (MySQL Cluster Manager).

Is port 1186 TCP or UDP?

Port 1186 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 1186?

It depends on the program that listens on it. Open it only for a service you know and only to the networks that need it. Bind the service to localhost or a private network, never to a public address.

How do I check if port 1186 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :1186'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :1186", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :1186" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 1186 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
