- Answer only the networks that need the service (no open resolvers, relays or reflectors).
- UDP services can be abused for DDoS amplification: rate-limit or block them at the edge.
- Disable legacy test services that have no use in production.

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :1308'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :1308", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :1308" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 1308 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
