[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1778402, member: 307555"] No you do not want to close ethernet ports. I am not sure about how Opera sets up VPN. I "assume" unless the app is open VPN is not active. I am not sure how to close ports on your Arris. While I have an Arris at work it does not have the interface yours has. Mine is basically a dumb box that allows us to connect. My Arris feeds into another router that is highly configurable to do all my tweaks. I did look at my Frontier router at home and blocking ports is under the firewall setting, custom, and click on an advanced button. But I am not sure what you have. Port blocking has to be done at the router. You might find something to do with gaming settings. A lot of routers have a provision for opening ports for specific online gaming use. If this is available you can usually block ports there. This whole thing could just be a feature of your internet phone. That is a big unknown for me. You would think your ISP would know what ports the telephone used - you would think..... Lisa [/QUOTE]
