Hello Lars, Otto & others on this TB! list & following this thread,
Tuesday, September 18, 2001, you stated regarding Port 80:
LG> Port 80 is used for incoming HTTP connections. So, if you don't run a
LG> web server on your box, it's OK to drop all incoming packets with 80 as
LG> destination port.
OK, I'll disallow all inbound TCP network communications" to http
port 80 and see what happens. If Opera stops working, I let the list
know. So far so good. The rule disallows inbound TCP network
communications to http port 80 from any IP address and Opera kept
working, so that should do it. Thanks for the advice.
Patrick W. Gilmore of the opera-users list said that:
