Technical Details

what runs on :2762

For standard DICOM TLS, a client first establishes a TLS connection over TCP; after the TLS handshake, the peers exchange the normal DICOM Upper Layer protocol, including association negotiation and then DICOM services such as DIMSE. Port 2762 is the registered DICOM TLS port, but it is not universal across deployments. Although the registry lists both TCP and UDP, standard DICOM TLS uses TCP; that UDP listing does not mean ordinary DICOM TLS traffic is expected over UDP.

security overview

DICOM systems may handle sensitive patient information, so internet exposure can reveal a valuable service even when TLS protects traffic in transit. TLS does not by itself guarantee that the application requires strong client authentication or enforces appropriate access controls; restrict access to trusted networks or VPNs and keep the server and its TLS stack maintained.
