I don't know where to start. Here is what I think I understand:
The firewall is SUPPOSED to be active. That protects my computer from internet
predators.
"External Zone" is anything outside the computer.
"Internal Zone" is anything inside the computer.
I have no clue what "Demilitarized Zone" is. It doesn't seem to be used for
anything.
Saned is only supposed to allow scanning on the local network (usually
192.168.0.x). I don't know how to defeat that (not that I really need to).
I noted that tcp 6566, activated and tested it. It only allowed partial
functionality, and did not permit complete scans.
This is not cleared up. Those directions do not fix network scanning. As I
mentioned before, the only I can get network scanning to work properly is to
shut down/turn off/deactivate the entire firewall. CLEARLY, there is a port
that saned is using/expecting that it is not opening in the external zone of
the firewall, since the internal zone is wide open.
If this belongs, somehow, to security/firewall, please reassign it there. I am
relying on you guys knowing which component is at fault.
To summarize: network scanning is not fixed. Being required to scan with the
firewall disabled/off forces an unacceptable breach of security and will open
my server to hackers.
