How To Close Ports

                                How To Close Ports

So i've been looking for a while on just how to close a port on a computer. I simply

couldn't find a way. Well, i finally found it. This'll only work for windows users (unless

your unix version OS has netsh).

it's actually quite simple. here's the command for it:

netsh firewall delete portopening TCP portnumber

it's that simple. Simply go to START -> RUN -> and type in that command up there,

and it'l  close it for you.

or, you can also open up command prompt (START -> RUN -> CMD) and type in "netsh"

without the quotes to get to your windows firewall settings.

however, since i'm such a nice guy, i wrote it all out in a vbs script for you so that it's

automatically runable. as well as a batch script. so here you are fellas:

.VBS Script

set ss = createobject("wscript.shell")

set ws = wscript

dim PORT

PORT = InputBox("Enter the port you wish to close:")

ss.run "netsh.exe"

ws.sleep 1000

ss.sendkeys "firewall delete portopening TCP " & PORT

ss.sendkeys "{enter}"

ws.sleep 500

'ss.sendkeys "exit"

'ss.sendkeys "{enter}"

.BAT Script

@echo off

title Port Closer

echo Port Closer

echo.

set /p port=Type the port number you wish to close here:

netsh firewall delete portopening TCP %port%

msg /w * Port %port% has been closed.

exit
