Just for the records: If it's just for the purpose of blocking ports,
(assuming you're running a Windows OS), you know you can do that with
Windows-built-in stuff?

Learn IPSEC (Start / Run / secpol.msc. Go to "IP Security Policies on
Local Machine", and learn how to deny requests from the outside), or
download some read-made IPSEC rules, for example from
http://www.analogx.com/contents/articles/ipsec.htm).

Best regards,
Markus
