Block Port 23

[muffintastic]

Hello.

I would like to block port 23, since i don't use telnet etc. How can i achieve this via the router or advanced config? I want to block incoming and outgoing, since it's defunct to me.

Use GRC Shields Up program.
Use the “proceed”, then “all service ports” buttons.
You may find it’s already blocked........

Port 23 is always blocked from the internet side whether you enable it on the router or not.

As for blocking port 23 outgoing; why? What do you hope to achieve by that? Why port 23 and not the hundreds of other ports you don't use? Or maybe you don't really mean that?
