Trouble with ICMP and open port

[homeuser3 0]

Hello,

 

I am running windows 7 64bit with avg security program with firewall, which runs on top of windows firewall.  Ive run tests from dnsleaktests.com - all clear and ipleak.net - all clear.  When I run Shieldsup however, I run into two issues.

 

1. ICMP.  I have created a new rule in avg firewall as well as windows firewall and yet I still reply to ping requests.  I have also gone into my router and disabled incoming ping requests.  Please help.

 

2. When I run the open ports test, ports 88 and 89 are open.  I have read that port 88 has to due with Airvpn's service but I cannot find any topics relating to port 89.

I have downloaded and run firewall leaktest and it was able to penetrate my firewall.  Please advise me on what I should to do in order to secure all my connections properly.  Thank you in advance.

Hello,

 

the test is performed on VPN server exit-IP address ports, not on your node.

 

Kind regards

Thank you for your response.  I apologize for another question but should I not be worried then about port 89?
