Hello Thomas & others on this TB! list & following this thread,
Tuesday, September 18, 2001, you answered my query regarding Port
80 as follows:
DH>> What would happen if I ruled out *any* TCP network communication to
DH>> http port 80?
TF> You wouldn't be able to browse the web.
DH>> Does TB! use it?
TF> No, but your web browser does. So does SETI@home, but only if you
TF> connect to get a new package. For both applications, this is the port
TF> on the remote address, not yours.
Thanks. OTOH, what would happen I made a rule to allow all instances
of it. When you say "the remote address" you are describing the url
of an open site? IOW, is it just Opera or is it the site Opera has
established a connection to and if so, what could that site do if I
allowed it access?
If this is complicated you might want to answer off list, since TB!
isn't involved. IAC, Thanks in advance.
Douglas
