    RT-AC68U on 380.69 - Port 443 is showing open and too stupid to determine why

    Thank you for your explanation. I did have a misunderstanding and appreciate your demeanor in pointing that out. Too many times people are “slammed” for misunderstandings. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    RT-AC68U on 380.69 - Port 443 is showing open and too stupid to determine why

    It is true, on the client side, if only for an ephemeral amount of time. I’ll agree that 443 is open only when browser communications take place then the port closes. However if you are having a shields up performed while your browser is communicating with GRC securely the possibility of a false...

    RT-AC68U on 380.69 - Port 443 is showing open and too stupid to determine why

    Something else that I didn’t see covered. Any website you visit that is using https will open port 443. If you are running a tool locally and have your browser pointed to a secure site, 443 will be open. Hence Gibson’s site will always report 443 open since he is using https. Sent from my...

    RT-AC68U on 380.69 - Port 443 is showing open and too stupid to determine why

    I’m appreciative of Steve’s work in education and providing tools to help end users with common windows problems. I used his products including Spinrite, when I started my IT career back in the late 90’s. Sadly, his tools don’t appear to have been updated recently and while they may provide...

    How do I disable DNSMasq-dhcp?

    Thank you for the clarification Merlin. I found a screenshot of dd-wrt from way back when that gave the option of using DNSmasq and when I read up on DNSmasq it mentioned that it could save 300k of ram by using it instead of udhcp (or a similiar acronym) blah blah blah. I have feeling that the...

    How do I disable DNSMasq-dhcp?

    Thank you Zirescu. I don't recall on what page I saw the DNS config setup on this morning (LAN/WAN), however I do appreciate your helpful response. Many thanks I set the DNS on the WAN side. On the LAN side my options are: Advertise router's IP in addition to user-specified DNS - No Forward...

    How do I disable DNSMasq-dhcp?

    I'm hearing annoyance in your response. If that is accurate, then I feel it is childish and unnecessary. My understanding is DNSmasq is an "option" and not required in order to have DHCP functioning. Yes I can go to a static IP, which I may need to do, however I'm attempting to understand the...

    How do I disable DNSMasq-dhcp?

    I've been having a lot of annoying issues with my network lately. Many times my VPN stops randomly (Freedome), streaming video stops and other hiccups. I downloaded Little Snitch for my MBP and it was capturing IPv6 netbios communications as well as IPv6 from mDNSResponder service. Now I have...

    What do I need to learn? (need to design a SAN/NAS up to 300TB))

    Hello Twice_Shy, I responded in one of your other posts earlier today and then stumbled upon this this evening. I was an enterprise SAN engineer for almost 5 years. I hear you have a dream and a goal to create movies, perform digital video editing and gaming development. I can also see you're...

    Port Scan Results - Router replying to Ping requests

    I tried 4 different online port scanners and they all detected 443 being open. All the other ports were closed or filtered. One site allowed me to enter specific ports to scan and I took the text output of open ports from GRC and they all came back filtered. I now feel that GRC was giving me...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.65 is now available

    Keep in mind that the issues all started after I enabled HTTPS (encrypted) communications with the router. If your nephew is using the default HTTP (clear text) communications I would anticipate he would have no problems with any of his devices.

    Port Scan Results - Router replying to Ping requests

    I am running a VPN not associated with the router so that would explain port 443 being open. Thank you Martinr for the link. Thanks Paul, I will contact Charter and see if their modem, a Cisco DPC3008, functions the same way. I am not running Aicloud. I am running AiProtection however. Would...

    Port Scan Results - Router replying to Ping requests

    I ran two different port scans from grc.com and received surprising results. The first is that the router shouldn't be replying to WAN ping requests although according to the port scan in the 2nd pic, a reply was sent. Why would this be happening? How do I stealth the closed ports and why would...

    am I silly for wanting Fibrechannel or/and Infiniband?

    Hello Twice_Shy, I have an Enterprise SAN Engineer background. Unfortunately I had to leave the industry completely in 2009 however I still retain a few tidbits of info so perhaps I can help. Infiniband was something being considered however my practical experience with it is zilch. My...
