Re: [wired] BEFSX41 firmware 1.45.7
I have two questions for anyone that tries the new firmware. First, can someone test their router against »grc.com to find out if all of the disallowed ports come up as stealth or a mix of that and closed. Second, how about a change to allow rules to be configured both inbound and outbound again? Thank you for your replies. |

Reno, NV | All of the first 1056 ports can be stealthed except for that one (113?) that is never stealthed.
As far as I can tell the Filter page is for Inbound only. It isn't like the Filter page on 1.44.8 and earlier. |

1 edit | d_l, thank you for the clarification on port 113. Indeed by default port 113 is not stealth but that's how it has been since 1.44.8 I think. In any case, you can manually stealth it by adding an entry in your port forwarding table that forward port 113 to an non-existing IP address (i.e. 192.168.1.254). This wastes an entry in the port forwarding table but gives you the benefit of having port 113 stealthed  . |
