Hi all,
I'm not that network savvy and am confused (which isn't difficult) and need some help/advice. I'm running a Windows 11 laptop and I've run the ShieldsUp "Common Ports" and "all service ports" scans. Both have shown that All ports are in Stealth except for 22 (SSH) and 443 (HTTPS), which are both showing as Open.
As I understand it, ShieldsUp scans the router rather than my laptop so, checking my router, I had a deafault rule set blocking any inbound service. Just to be sure I added 2 new rules to block SSH on port 22 and HTTPS on 443.
However ShiledsUp still shows the ports as open. What am I doing wrong and how can I, ideally, get these ports to show as stealth?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I've been playing around, and have found that this happens when I have my VPN active on my Laptop. If I deactivate the VPN on my Laptop, all ports show as Stealth.
