sygate and shields up
When I test my sygate firewall on Gibson's Shields Up. The ports are coming up as closed, but not all are coming up as what GRC calls stealth.
I figure this is to be expected. I have a 'home router'. So my router is blocking incoming connections - including Gibson's, reporting back "Closed". Those ports that my router is allowing through , Sygate kicks in and blocks the incoming connection properly, reporting nothing back - what GRC calls Stealth. Not even giving away my computer's existance.
Is running my home router's firewall along with Sygate, actually makign me less secure than if I was to run Sygate alone ? (since my ports aren't 'stealthed') ?
