What is Port 80?

The list of 'ports' in your firewall are a list of internet connection ports that are blocked. Port 80 is named as being a HTTP port, and defines the way web browsers communicate (client outgoing requests and incoming host reactions) with host servers on the WWW.

Your firewall settings automatically block all ports on setting up. Port 80 is the most commonly used port for websites where interaction is needed between your computer and the web site's server. Most web sites with any amount of interaction need port 80 to be open.

We have found no evidence that removing this particular port creates danger when you have the rest of your security system set up.

You can find out more about ports by searching for 'port' in your firewall's help section.
