![]() When the firewall gets switched on, every port is closed (as in inbound and outbound traffic on every port is blocked) unless the user specifically opens one, or Windows UAC indicates to the user that a particular port on the firewall needs opened for an application to run (this usually happens when an application is being installed). This also means that any device on the network or the internet can send traffic through any port on the computer. This means that any application running on the computer can send any traffic from the computer through any port to any device on the network or the internet. My understanding of the situation is that, when the Windows firewall is off, every port on the computer (all 65535 of them) is fully open.
