14 If SU can tell that the port is closed, then it's being forwarded
15 correctly. Otherwise, SU would show "Stealth" for the port status
16 (meaning it cannot tell if it's closed or open.)

18 "Closed" means the application that listens on that port is not running,
19 or is not answering. But the port has been forwarded.
