I think your best bet is to block everything outgoing and work from there. As far as I am concerned it is better to have everything blocked and only open ports you need rather then open everything and block ports that are known to be malicious. I think one of the smartest moves I made for my home network was to segment it in such a way so that I can have various rule bases for each segment on the network. That is of course assuming you are working with a firewall that has more than one NIC and that you will be hosting more then just desktop internet access. A good starting off point would be iana's list of ports: http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers Good luck! -----Original Message----- From: plug-admin@lists.phillylinux.org [mailto:plug-admin@lists.phillylinux.org] On Behalf Of Doug Crompton Sent: Friday, December 10, 2004 1:29 PM To: Phila Linux Users Group Subject: Re: [PLUG] Blocked outgoing ports On Fri, 10 Dec 2004, sean finney wrote: > on the other hand, it can be kind of a headache if it's your personal > workstation... in which case you probably want something a little more > relaxed, though the same concepts can be applied. > > sean > I guess I did not mention... this is a home network where I am not concerned about users inside doing anything wrong. I guess what I would have to do is block everything and then find out what does not work! Other then normal browsing I use internet radio and occasionally things like yahoo. I just thought maybe someone had established a list of common (out) ports that were typically used in a situation like this.
