I am using Comodo 3.0.25.378 on Vista Premium 32, with Windows Firewall disabled. My laptop is set to DMZ on my 2Wire router, on which I have disabled the “Stealth mode” option
I have been consistently getting the attached Shields Up scan, with nearly exactly half the ports stealth and the other half closed (and arbitrarily cyclic every 32 ports).
Some variables I have changed:
Windows Firewall disabled, Comodo enabled, DMZ, router not stealth mode : strange results attached.
Windows Firewall enabled, Comodo enabled, DMZ, router not stealth mode : same results.
Windows Firewall enabled, Comodo disabled, DMZ, router not stealth mode : same results. [This suggests that Comodo is basically doing nothing]
Windows Firewall disabled, Comodo disabled, DMZ, router not stealth mode : ports 1-103 inclusive closed; ports 0, 104-1055 stealthed [probably some adaptive firewall built into the router?]
And with the hardware router firewall on stealth mode:
Windows Firewall disabled, Comodo disabled, DMZ, router on stealth mode : ports 1-15 inclusive closed; ports 0, 16-1055 stealthed
Windows Firewall enabled, Comodo disabled, DMZ, router on stealth mode : all stealthed
Windows Firewall disabled, Comodo enabled, DMZ, router on stealth mode : all stealthed
Windows Firewall enabled, Comodo enabled, DMZ, router on stealth mode : all stealthed
I know about the stealth/closed debate - I’m here to ask about the seemingly nonexistent effect of Comodo Firewall on the port scan. Is this normal behavior for Comodo firewall, and if so, why.
