You're wrong. A port is not a door or a gate, and not a harbour. It's
just a 16bit maintenance number, which includes that there are 65536
different numbers for ports. Usually, the 0 has special meaning, that
makes 65535 numbers in address space.

You're one of the many people, who don't understand and don't recognize
real attacks.

What attacks and threats and problems consist of
if in 11 years I had no problem on my PC
and in my life (bank accout never emptied, no menace...)?
