What do you mean by stealth? And why do you want it?
Ports can be open, closed or transparent. Open ports are obvious, closed
ports block incoming packets but can be pinged, transparent ports block
incoming packets but ignore pings, so packet-sniffers which seek out
open or blocked ports can't detect stealthed (transparent) ones. If your
ports are blocked they can be attacked and possibly compromised, but if
they're stealthed no-one will know they're actually there.
O'Rly?

Just another safety-measure.

www.grc.com explains it much better than I can.
And Steve Gibson is who?


One hell of an authority when it comes to PC security.
Says who? Him? Hey, I've got this bridge for sale Dave...


I'll TAKE IT!!

Great. I'll need your account details to take the deposit, and to allow
my shippers to take their costs directly - saving you the middle man costs!!

I've actually some other business in your area. If I wire you fifty
grand on top of the price of the bridge, could you withdraw the
difference and pay my supplier with it?
