37 Time ProtocolReturns time as seconds since 1900 (RFC 868).
Superseded by NTP (123).
| Transport | Status | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TCP | Yes | Assigned by IANA and standardized, specified, or widely used on this port. |
| UDP | Yes | Assigned by IANA and standardized, specified, or widely used on this port. |
| SCTP | — | Not applicable for this transport. |
| DCCP | — | Not applicable for this transport. |
Well-known (0–1023). System port for a core service. On Unix-like systems, binding it requires superuser privileges.

Copy-ready inbound rules for the active transports. Replace every <source> placeholder with the specific host, subnet, or CIDR that should reach this port.

Rules are generated only for transports marked active for this port. They default to an inbound allow with an explicit source placeholder — never any. Review direction, scope, and rule precedence before applying in production.
