-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 So how do I block a port in IPCop? I've gone to the firewall tab where I can forward ports or configure external access, but I haven't found any instructions on how to effectively block a port. Do I have to get to IPCop's root shell and manually edit a .conf file or something?

Redirecting to an unusable ip makes little sense - better to simply reject port 113. want more info?
