- 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 8004, and is it reachable?
Linux
sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :8004' # process listening on 8004
sudo lsof -nP -i :8004macOS
sudo lsof -nP -i :8004
Windows (PowerShell)
Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 8004 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 8004 netstat -ano | findstr :8004
From another machine
nmap -p 8004 -sV <host> nc -zv <host> 8004
Block it in the firewall

What is port 8004 used for?
Port 8004 is assigned by IANA to p2pevolvenet (Opensource Evolv Enterprise Platform P2P Network Node Connection Protocol).
Is port 8004 TCP or UDP?
Port 8004 is registered for TCP.
Is it safe to open port 8004?
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 8004 is open?
On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :8004'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :8004", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :8004" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 8004 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
