- Close the port if nothing on the host needs it.
- 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 6625, and is it reachable?
Linux
sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :6625' # process listening on 6625
sudo lsof -nP -i :6625macOS
sudo lsof -nP -i :6625
Windows (PowerShell)

From another machine
nmap -p 6625 -sV <host> nc -zv <host> 6625

Is port 6625 TCP or UDP?
Port 6625 is registered for TCP.
Is it safe to open port 6625?
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 6625 is open?
On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :6625'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :6625", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :6625" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 6625 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
