Title: How can I close TCP/IP ports
Post by: alext on November 22, 2007, 06:52:55 PM

This has probably been requested before but I can't find any reference...

I have a newly installed of SME 7.2 for a client who is fanatical about security.

He wants to access the server externally via OpenVPN ONLY. (No internal LAN access).

He wants ALL ports except one for OpenVPN to be closed, (that includes 80, 443, 21,22,23 etc).

I have installed OpenVPN which, in itself, is giving me problems as it listens on port 1194 on the internal LAN only and I have yet to find out how to change this so that it listens on the external adapter.

I have also installed sme7Admin. This alows me to stop services but not close ports.

Is there a utility/contribution that allows the administrator to close/open ports?

Thanks

Did you read the FAQ as this information is clearly listed there under the Firewall section

Thank you Ray. I missed the obvious place.
