Re: SBS2008 Why is port 80 opened by default?

I see that port 80 needs to be open on the SBS2008 firewall for companyweb,
but why would it open that port via uPnP on my router?

Thanks.

All the default remote access methods RWW/OWA etc... go through other
ports. What is port 80 used for?

Thanks.

Redirects?
Just because something is listening on the LAN doesn't mean you should
expose it to the Internet through your firewall.
