- Identify the process that listens on it (commands below) before opening it in a firewall.
- Expose a service only to the networks that use it.

Which program uses port 369, and is it reachable?
Linux
sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :369' # process listening on 369
sudo lsof -nP -i :369macOS
sudo lsof -nP -i :369
Windows (PowerShell)
Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 369 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 369 netstat -ano | findstr :369
From another machine
nmap -p 369 -sV <host> sudo nmap -sU -p 369 <host> nc -zv <host> 369

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. Close the port if nothing on the host needs it.
How do I check if port 369 is open?
On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :369'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :369", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :369" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 369 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
