Topic: BLOCK TCP & UDP PORTS

[Ulises Ruiz]

I think, that the next E-Smith server have a module where the TCP & UDP ports maybe close, how Clarkconnet Do, thanks.

I agree.  It would be really nice to have a Server Manager Panel that allowed the admin to easily block all traffic on any port.

Agree too, keep all ports blocked untill the user opens one...

All ports are already blocked until opened by enabling the relevant service (SSH, POP, IMAP, LDAP, PPTP, etc). Please see the security white paper on this website.

I took it that this was talking about *outbound* ports. I don't see any reason that users here need to access any server that uses the WinMX port, for example.
This should be configurable, but I would prefer to have all ports blocked unless specifically opened.

Thanks!
