Re: [FW1] Checkpoint specific Port hiding

Yes, it is possible.  A very good recommedation to make them invisible to the outside world.

I am assuming you have a single gateway which is also your management station, and that you are not using SecuRemote:

You should build specific rules that allow your gui-clients to manage (FW1_mgmt) the firewall.  Then add a stealth rule after that.  Then you can go under Policy --> Properties, and uncheck "FW-1 Control Connections".

If you have a distributed configuration, it gets just a little more complicated...
