Security Metrics Port Scan

The website runs a java applet to see if I am behind a router or proxy.

Quote, "Your computer reported an IP address of *.*.*.*, but your actual IP address is 127.0.0.1."

But that address is the server loopback address. What does this all mean? No other firewall test site has done this.

Your own result would indicate they had a problem to correctly test.

Do not concern yourself about this.

 

Same result

Automatic Connection Analyzer

There is a router, proxy, or firewall between you and the Internet. Your port scan results may reflect the security of your router, firewall or proxy instead of your computer
