Port filtering in My Orcon

Port filtering is an extra level of security that protects you from cyber attacks and blocks specific inbound traffic with no impact on your normal browsing, streaming, or email services. You can turn it off and on at any time by logging into My Orcon and scrolling to the bottom of the home page.

We block the following ports and inbound traffic (TCP/UDP) on a network level:

 Number

Inbound Traffic

20 FTP data
21 FTP data
22 SSH (Secure Shell) and file transfers
23 Telnet
25 SMTP (Sending emails)
53 DNS servers
67 DHCP Bootstrap servers
68 DHCP Bootstrap servers
80 HTTP servers
110 POP3 servers
135 Remotely managed DHCP and DNS servers
137 NetBIOS named services
138 NetBIOS datagrams
139 NetBIOS sessions
143 IMAP servers
161 SNMP
162 SNMP
443 HTTPS servers
445 SMB over IP
547 DHCPv6 servers
593 HTTP RPC remote procedures
1900 SSDP (Discovery of UPnP devices)
2049 NFS (File sharing)
5060 VoIP/SIP
5431 UPnP ports

If you have an on-site email server (business email server), web server, NAS servers, or admin acces to a remote router, you'll want to disable the port filtering and test your services again.
