That's exactly how it should be. A port only opens if there is a service using it. Were you expecting to see all 1024 standard ports open?slavvo67 wrote:Actually, the above might be a Peasyport issue. When I removed the firewall, Peasyport only reported back the ports above as being opened.
Suppose you have Python Simple Server running on port 8000. So you allow that port on the firewall. All the firewall is now doing is blocking a bunch of other ports that aren't active anyway.Practical value is say you're using Python Simple Server. No?
The value of the "trusted LAN" procedure is that it allows traffic through whatever ports you choose to open to anyone on the LAN, without having specify them individually.
It also lets you communicate with network devices that might be advertising their presence on ports that you don't know about.
