The firewall also masks common ports that are frequently used to
attack networks. These ports appear to be “stealth” meaning that for
all intents and purposes, they do not exist to a would-be hacker. You
can turn the firewall function off if needed; however, it is recommended
that you leave the firewall enabled. Disabling the firewall protection will
not leave your network completely vulnerable to hacker attacks, but it is
recommended that you leave the firewall enabled.
