Thanks for the feedback. I'm looking for ways to test this out, and in order to do so I need to be able to close all ports on the test machine except 443. Is there some comand(s) I can issue that would do this? This would be on a workstation, Debianish machine without any sort of firewall running. Short of a command(s), what would be the simplest way to accomplish this port blocking for testing purposes? Is there a system-wide config I could edit?
