Technical Details

what runs on :7474

This is Neo4j's HTTP connector over TCP, normally listening on port 7474. Clients speak HTTP, and the endpoint can serve the Neo4j Browser as well as database HTTP APIs; the exact API paths vary by Neo4j version. The separate Bolt protocol, commonly on TCP 7687, uses a distinct binary protocol. HTTPS is typically provided separately on port 7473 when enabled; HTTP on 7474 is not encrypted by default.

security overview

An exposed endpoint can reveal the Neo4j Browser and provide a route to query or modify graph data. Authentication and authorization should be enabled and correctly configured, but credentials and database traffic sent over this HTTP endpoint are not encrypted in transit. Do not expose it directly to the public internet; restrict access to trusted networks or use HTTPS through a properly configured connector or reverse proxy.
