    Hi.

    Is there any way to set port 0 to stealth with Online Armor. I use the free version 4.0.0.14. I asked at their forum but didn't get much useful help. They just said it is not set to stealth automaticially.

    have a look here :
    https://www.grc.com/port_0.htm

    I don't how doing with OA because i use 64 bits, But fo me ZoneAlarm Pro set my port 0 to sthealth, i'm also behind routeur.

    IMHO, if someone test your port 0 (closed), he just can see if your computer is running or not, because if you want to put a service on it (bad service), port 0 looking for a avaible port on your computer which are normally sthealth.


    Rules.

    Hi.

    I followed the instruction posted above by subset and then ran sheilds up at GRC. Unfortunately port 0 still came back as closed rather than stealth.

    If it is the Router then it should be the same with the Windows Firewall or any other Firewall.

    However, there is not much more you can do with OA Free than creating a block rule for this port.

    Cheers

    OK, thanks for the help. I am not using a router and all ports are stealth when I use windows firewall. Just out of curiousity does the free version of comodo stealth all ports by default?

    As long as ports come back as closed is all that really matters. Stealth ports can still be detected.

    OA Free should be stealthed by default.

    I couldn't get OA Free to stealth port 0, but it didn't matter as I'm behind a router fw that stealths all ports.

    I've been having problems with OA 4.0.0.15 freezing up my computers, so I've ditched OA for Privatefirewall.

    With Privatefirewall all ports are stealthed, no freeze ups & both of my computers are running lite and faster than ever.:):cool:
