please tell me, why you think your port is "stealth", say: invisible.
What should that be, an "invisible" port?

Is your router modifying the natural numbers, and removing one of them?
A port is a number between 1 and 65535 together with a layer 4 protocol
like UDP or TCP. With this number, your TCP/IP stack software can assign
datagrams to sockets and therefore to processes.

There is nothing, you could "stealth" at all. This is just nonsense,
basing on the misinterpretation of the term "port", wich does _not_ mean
door here, nor harbor, but just a maintenance number.

Yours,
VB.
