From: chrome at liquidinfo.net (marko) Subject: closing ports Hi, On Fri, 07 Nov 2003 02:58:04 -0500 "Christ-Henning Ljosheim" <chris@...asat.no> wrote: > I've closed port 1214 and 6881 to 6889 . Anyone else I should close ? I recommend you take the default approach of denying everything instead of closing certain ports. After this has been done, allow the necessary inbound traffic to your host(s) that you need. Home-users rarely need any inbound traffic, unless they're using some P2P programs or similar stuff. Public servers on the other hand require some ports open (how else could they serve?). For example a web-server requires port 80 to serve any pages to clients, assuming the server is setup to listen on that port. -m- -- - Liquid Information - http://www.liquidinfo.net - E-mail: Remove NOS_PAM if present in address (Usenet) - PGP: http://www.liquidinfo.net/about.html --
