Port 80 is open
Is there a reason my modem/router has Port 80 open. How can I close it
GRC Shield's Up shows that it is open and says "So having port 80 "open" as it is here causes intruders to wonder how much information you might be willing to give away."
Note: TPLINK could not find my model. It is actually TD-W8970
EDIT: Was able to put Port 80 in Stealth mode by disabling UPNP setting under Forwarding/UPNP
However I have not found out how to disable modem sending ICMP echoes
Re:Port 80 is open
Good day.
For the TD-W8970, the local login via 192.168.0.1/tplinkmodem.net used port 80, which did not have any security hazards.
As for ICMP echoes, do you mean ping from remote and local?
If yes, it cannot be disabled but you can only choose the ICMP(ping) from local.
Thank you!
