Security & Open Ports.

[Secret_Society]

Guten Tag Tech Forums! I have some questions regarding the security of my router and computer. I am a mere student in this section and wondering my ways.

So lets get down to business! I have a router and it has a firewall build in it, but just how efficient is that thing actually?

I have taken some time to stare down my own Internet Connection and the router for some time now and I am mostly concerned about the open ports which all are TCP (total of 4 ports open).

The real question is that are they r can they blow-risk oe exploited to gain control of something on my computer?

Thank you for your answers.

Run that; it will scan your ports and tell you what ones are open, and what services are vulnerable. Gives a basic overview of security, at least.
