Re: Opera 10.10 keeps opening ICF ports - security issue? said by Graycode:What you're seeing is UPnP where Opera is punching holes through your firewall to permit inbound external connections. Sounds pretty outrageous if you ask me. Thanks for the tweaks, all of which I have performed.
Edit: If you decide to perform the recommended tweaks, be sure to click on the [Save] button at the bottom of each drop-down section, or else they will not take effect.

| In addition to UPnP my firewalls also detected outbound IGMP protocol being used. The IGMP stopped happening after disabling Opera's new everybody-runs-a-server Unite crud.
It leaves me with very little faith in what Opera's up to. Opera used to preach their concern & focus on being a secure browser but that no longer seems applicable  |
