Run a netstat -t -l and you will see there is nothing listening. So what is the point of running a firewall?
There's plenty of reasons to run a firewall even if you think you are not running any services. You may be mistaken; a service may be started without your knowledge, either in error or as an unintended consequence of something you have done (install/run another piece of software); or, a third party may have acquired access to your machine in some way and attempted to run a backdoor process to listen for incoming connections. -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Jonathan Dowland ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://jmtd.net ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ Please do not CC me, I am subscribed to the list.
