Single port scan (open port check)?
Hi I'm unable to find how to do a single port scan or even scan a custom set of ports with this app. It would be helpful to check if ports are properly open to WAN... Can any of this options be added? As far as I see it is only possible to scan default well known ports or a port range.
Thanks for your time.
Hey there, you can select the "Scan Port Range" option for scanning a custom set of ports for either a WAN or LAN host. You can use the same feature to scan a single port, just have the start and end port be the same port.
It looks like there's a bug with validation when you select the same port for the start and stop port, I'll get this fixed ASAP.
AFAIK scanning random ports like "85, 454, 888 and something like 1515 (or higher)" with "Scan Port Range" will scan all ports in between (start 85 - end 1515), I've been trying this and takes a lot of time to complete on WAN, when I only need to scan 3 or 4 single ports. Having a custom scan list would be nice.
Oh, I see. In that case you're right, there's nothing that will accept a list of ports to scan. I can add this feature in!
https://github.com/aaronjwood/PortAuthority/commit/b3a99ef9e4b11aa303756c68706e98a97efe1204 should fix the issue where you couldn't scan a single port. I'll roll this out along with a few other fixes in a new release soon.
OK, many thanks. Hope you add the ability to scan a custom list of ports as well.
No problem, I'll get to it for the next round of features that I'm planning to roll out.
