    Which TCP/IP ports to close?

    I'm sure this question has been asked and answered already, but I can't find it. I'll be going online soon for the first time, and need to know what TCP and IP ports to close. Considering there is so many, I figure its best to just ask which ports I absolutely have to have open, then I will just shut down everything else. Could someone please give me a link to the answer? Thanks!

    Personally, i sit behind a router and do not worry about the ports. Been doing that 4 14 years now with no problems.
    But I have used GRC a few times https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2

    I get this

    DID NOT RESPOND TO OUR UPnP PROBES!
    Under Freeware are several more test you can run.
