I can only see ways of enabling port. I can’t see any way to block ports. I downloaded the GUI. It appears to be the same way. It seems that you can add ports (as with Windows Firewall) for opening. Is it possible that you can mention steps with Windows Firewall that will block a single port? Port 80 for example? Or is it possible that you can mention steps using the Windows Firewall Port & Application Manager to block a port? Port 80 for example? By the way, this thread isn’t about my intentions in trying to protect a PC, it’s about studying the functionality of various ports. The PC is quite protected. There’s a story behind the stamp on my messages. I kind of hate to distract from learning how to block ports in Windows, since, as I mention I searched the Internet before posting my question. The question is referenced many times, but it’s never answered. The thread always goes into a different direction. Thanks for the input. Thanks also for the suggestion and warning about spam and security. A person practically has to apply for access to get pass my spam filter. -- L. James -- L. D.
