2 - There is a web site that shows your open ports. I can't remember the
name. Sorry. I did tests to prove open ports are readily seen. I did not
have to reconfigure the router to do the tests. The site uses your IP to
probe.

Gibson Research, follow the link to the 'Shields Up!!' Test:

Note:  You said earlier that outgoing ports are not the problem, but
actually they can be  -  how do you think botnet nodes communicate with
their control?  On your router, you should have all internet facing
ports closed except those that are strictly needed for normal net
functionality.


FWIW Resolve uses a database approach to its projects.  (Avid uses files (bins 
aka .avb files) as does Premiere.  That likely accounts for at least one of the 
open ports if not more

The database approach is true genius: you get extremely fast, powerful, free 
open source project sharing.  In the array of tradeoffs between editing 
systems, this one's a plus for Resolve.  But that benefit can involve open 
ports, and closing them can undermine its ability to function

So those would be needed for that particular net functionality, and
similarly other systems require particular open ports as well, but that
doesn't alter the fact that any ports that aren't needed should be closed.
