My Port Sets

---

 

 Port Sets are handy, predefined groupings of one or more ports that can be re-used and deployed across multiple Application Rules and Global Rules.

• Click on My Port Sets in Firewall > Common Tasks to open 'My Port Sets' interface.

Note: The name of the Port Set is shown above the actual port numbers that belong to that set. The default port sets shipped with Comodo Internet Security are: HTTP Ports: 80 and 443. These are the default ports for http traffic. The Internet browser uses these ports to connect to the Internet and other networks. POP3/SMTP Ports: 110, 25, 143, 995, 465. These are the ports that are typically used by mail clients like Outlook Express and Win Mail for communication using the POP3, SMTP and IMAP protocols. Privileged Ports: 0-1023. This set can be deployed to create a rule that allows or blocks access to the privileged port range of 0-1023. Privileged ports are so called because it is usually desirable to prevent users from running services on these ports. Network administrators usually reserve or prohibit the use of these ports.

Once opened, the 'My Port Sets' window enables administrators to add new port sets and ports, edit and delete port sets and ports.
