Hi forum folks,

Scan your firewalling and security here:

Did you get 5 out of 5 or the all green?

4

All green here. 5 out of 5! ;D

5

3 of 5 as i got some ports open and some closed … but i know about these :slight_smile:

Hi Dwarden,

The ones that were open, were they filtered. If so things are OK.
Else install some TCP or UDP filtering scripts, easy peasy, or if you are behind a router, that takes care of the packet filtering for you, a zylink in bewteen helps too.

Well it’s all green here too…Like usually, thanks to my router.

Same 5, but only Outpost Pro. No hardware router unfortunately, just on dial-up connection too far from the exchange (at present) for reliable fast broadband connection.

5 out of 5 here too. :slight_smile: Quite a few TCP and UDP ports open/filtered, but presumably it’s (and we are) happy with those.

5 0f 5 here, all green ;D

11

5 of 5 for me to.

12

All green with just Comodo Personal Firewall, no routers. :slight_smile:

13

5 out of 5 here also on 2 computers. My old computer is still on dial-up but gets 5 out of 5 with ZA Free … as does my new computer which is behind a router with ZA Free also. :smiley:

14

Same here… although, port 113 continues closed (not stealthed) or I can’t use Internet.

Hi Tech,

The problems with this, or apparently not, you read here, my friend:
http://grc.com/port_113.htm, and also how to make it stealthed, and click at probe this port there. Do you have a filtering hardware router? I have put the extra packet filters (TCP-UDP) in my software FW.

greets,

Thanks… I’ve read that page a lot of times :slight_smile:
I don’t have a filtering hardware routher. Which are your packet filter rules?

17

What is the problem with port 113 guys? If you want to stealth it just port forward it to a non existing IP in your router.

18

It’s not a problem, you can block using firewall rules if you want to. But, if I do a port forwarding I wouldn’t be able to browse correctly: like firewall blocking, page not found, etc. I couldn’t imagine the solution (if any) for this. That port is always closed for me, if I stealth, no browsing…

19

If you block port 113 you can’t browse Tech?That’s weird considering port 113 is only used by some old UNIX servers(Irc) and some outdated e-mail servers… I must say i had this port stealthed from the first day i bought myself a router(almost 2 years now) and i never had any problems.And why should i since it has nothing to do with browsers(as far as i know).

YES! 5/5 and all green. Thanks!
