Hello,
Sometimes your machine opens up on certain ports (29, 68) if these ports are filtered, which means they are stealth through a firewall, nothing is wrong. Else some attacker can scan these?
Did you get the full green circle here on this test:

Their statement for closed ports is a little misleading:
Closed means that a service is not listening on this port, but also that this port is not filtered, if a service were run on this port it would be accessible to the Internet and potentially be dangerous.These closed ports would only be accessible if I allow access. ZA would warn me if one of these ports where accessed and an would block access unless I gave permission.
Security Score: 5 [ 
well that’s nice to know!]
This is a score on a scale of 1 (bad) to 5 (good), this score indicates a rough measure of how secure your computer is. Please note that even a single open port with a vulnerable application behind it, such as Windows file sharing or a web server can result in your system being compromised. You can increase your score by disabling uneeded services, or by installing and configuring a firewall.
Summary of scan results
Number of open TCP ports: 0 Number of closed TCP ports: 0
Number of filtered TCP ports: 68 Number of closed and/or filtered UDP ports: 0
Number of open and/or filtered UDP ports: 29
Ditto, same as your Abraxas.
Hi folks,
You all were very modest, because you did not mention your
Security Score = 5. Congratulations. Check all the processes you are running are legit, run protocols as far as you absolutely need them.
“Worn-out” is an oldfashioned word, to-days’ word is “busted”.

OK here’s something strange: I have Security Score: 0 ??? :-\
Is that bad? Because on the site is written that the score begins from “1” !
Hi XMAS,
Maybe you are behind a proxy, else I would not understand the result…
polonus
I would have though that being behind a proxy would score 5 because they wouldn’t be able to detect anything ;D
I was using Outpost Firewall 3.0 when I tested. 8)

Hi Thomas123,
You are the only one on Outpost with a slightly different result, what is the closed TCP port? The other results d not show it.
greets,

It is Port 113 (TCP).
You mean this one?

P.S:Sorry guys for the unnecessary post but i’m a little bored right now nothing to do i’m waiting for something to download ;D
You are probably right. What does Port 113 (TCP) do?
https://www.grc.com/port_113.htm
[i]Is all this really a problem?
Probably . . . Not. Most people who arrange to fully stealth port 113 never have any trouble connecting to any remote servers they commonly use. If, after stealthing port 113, you do experience connection delays, such as when sending or retrieving eMail, you’ll know it immediately since it’s usually quite apparent, and you’ll know that your ISP is using an IDENT-dependent eMail server. (But this is not common.)
The trouble experienced by most security conscious people, is that port 113 can sometimes be rather tricky to stealth . . .[/i]
Actually it’s quite easy… just forward port 113 to some non-existing IP address on your DHCP server and that’s it…

so let’s say if you assigned your DHCP server to start with 192.168.0.2 and end with 192.168.0.100, just forward it to 192.168.0.101 , or 102, 103, 104… even 201… doesn’t really matter…

Cheers !
Very interesting Sasha!Again i learn something new(god i love this forum), as you can see from my screenshot i have no need for doing that the port is fully stealthed(luckily) for me , but i’m sure it’ll help Thomas ;D
5 here too… :).
