I am running latest AIS.

I use direct connection, wired router & wireless (only my wireless connection)
I keep on checking grc.com & Avast always stealth all the ports.

But only 1 prob & this prob happens only with Avast Firewall. I have never seen this prob with Comodo FW & Windows 7 FW.

On my routers page, WAN IP mostly starts with 203.x.x.x & think 192.x.x.x & with Avast FW installed, grc.com shows all ports stealth. This is fine.

But with Avast FW installed, I have noticed sometimes WAN IP shows 195.195.x.x & when this IP is shown, grc.com shows 2 ports stealth, rest closed & 80 & 443 open always. Avast Home Network scan also reports this prob when WAN IP shows this IP.

Any info?

Are you using a vpn? If so then than may be the cause.:) Disable it run the firewall probe again and see it tell you all ports stealth.
Can u plz show me the graph of the port test?

No VPN.

But I was wrong. The prob is not due to Avast FW.

I have seen 3 types of IP in WAN IP in router page.
1. Starts with 203.x.x.x
2. Starts with 192.x.x.x
Ports are always stealthed with the above starting IP.

3. 195.195.x.x

Whenever WAN IP shows IP starting with 195.195.x.x then always 2 ports stealth, rest closed & 80 & 443 always open.
I dont understand why this happens with IP starting with 195.195.x.x?
Are IP starting with 195.195.x.x. normal for home users?
