Hi!
When I do a port-scan on my public IP, using a tool on my phone (connected to the internet through my phone operator, not WLAN), it reports ports 21 and 554 as open. Makes me nervous.. Those ports are certainly not open in the firewall section when i connect with Winbox. What’s going on?
Thanks in advance:)
I’m trying to read your config remotely…
… I’m concentrating really hard with my mind…
… no, sorry, it’s not going to work this way.

simplest explanation is normally the correct one.
You have ports open.
If you need a more detailed answer, you will need to post your firewall filter and nat exports.
Sorry about that:) Here is my config:


Just discovered that those ports shows as open even when I pull the power to the router.. Something with the ISP?
It’s possible that they are redirecting traffic on those ports. Maybe to try and protect you, or to prevent you from running servers on them.
I’ve emailed my ISP and asked them. Haven’t received a reply yet. At least now I know my internal network isn’t open.
Thank you:)
Use this scanner - open this link from inside you network.
All green with the tests on that page:) Ports 21 and 554 marked as “Stealth”.
