What is the Fingbox vulnerability test?

Fingbox finds suspected weak points so you can keep your connection secure. The Vulnerability Test is a combination of a router audit and a remote scan test. The Network Vulnerability Test automatically runs weekly but you can also perform and on-demand scan. The test is made up of two parts: The Remote Scan Test performs a port scan on your public Internet address (the individual numerical address visible to the public when you are online) to see which ports are open to the external world: these are the open doors into your home, and you should make sure to have only the strictly necessary ones open. The Internal Router Audit checks the router addresses, the NAT configuration and whether or not UPnP or NAT-PMP is activated. In the house metaphor, this would be the equivalent of checking the security measures placed inside the building in case an intruder did make it through the door. Learn more
