Yeah, you can. It's not a command like what you've used in your example but it's perfectly fine for network connectivity testing.

Here's an example using TCP 41000.

Start listening command:

($listener = [System.Net.Sockets.TcpListener]::new([System.Net.IPAddress]::Any, 41000)).Start()

Running a basic test command from on the host itself against the listener from above:

Test-NetConnection -ComputerName localhost -Port 41000

Finally, stop the listener:

$listener.Stop()

Cheers,
