I've seem this advice quite e few times but I have also seen the
opposite: don't bother to block inbound ports where no service is
enabled. I've always thought the latter advice made more sense
intuitively. Unless there are things that I don't know about like
trojans that enable services, I simply can't see any point to blocking
requests to ports where there is no service running. I'm always
willing to learn.
