This is good no?







No ports open is good true stealth is the best...... port 113 is often the hardest to stealth surprisingly it is rarely needed. If you are behind a router you can simply forward that port to a IP that doesn't exist like 192.168.1.212 or something. and then the port will stealth and you will 99% most likely not have any adverse effects while browsing the web. Some firewalls have a difficult time handling port 113 read more here http://grc.com/port_113.htm
Unless you use PING I would atleast suggest blocking the outgoing reply from your machine.

Here's mine GRC Port Authority Report created on UTC: 2004-01-06 at 12:35:52

Results from scan of ports: 0-1055

0 Ports Open
0 Ports Closed
1056 Ports Stealth
---------------------
1056 Ports Tested

ALL PORTS tested were found to be: STEALTH.

TruStealth: PASSED - ALL tested ports were STEALTH,
- NO unsolicited packets were received,
- NO Ping reply (ICMP Echo) was received.


Scans like GRC are good to a point but almost all scans only scan the most common ports. Mainly because it would just consume too much bandwidth and take to long to hit all 60,000+ ports. Sygate offers a Trojan port scan and a few others to check a few more port ranges http://scan.sygatetech.com/
