Here I'm asking for a theoretical question, and not for practice recommendations. Everybody can answer "forget it, it's better to put a firewall and filter traffic by port", but I already know.
Usually packet filter is used to reject or discard petitions from network to a computer but, What happens if the computer is not listening?
That is to say, for example, someone can install a firewall that blocks packets for port TCP 80 (web), but if the computer hasn't any webserver to attend port TCP80, Which insecutiry is covering the firewall?
