  • You won't be "invisible" that's just bullshit. It just means people cant connect to your ports.

  • Well, if that can't see your ports, that makes them invisible. :P

  • When you enable this will it affect any others process' on your Mac? And what kind of Macs can you use this on? (iMac, Macbook, Macbook Pro?)

  • It will not affect any process or performance. You can enable it on any Mac. On Macs running pre-Leopard, the settings are in your 'Sharing' control panel.

  • I fuckin adore the way you move your cursor to the speed of the music ! :D It's like if the cursor was sad and walking back home on a rainy day.

  • No, you are still sending your IP address along with all outgoing communication.

    To be invisible, one needs to connect through a 'proxy' server.

  • all this means is people cant connect to your computer through most ports. in order to be completely invisible you need an ip blocker or a proxy. with the above setup, anyone including your ISP will be able to see anywhere you go.

  • Using stealth mode made my mac crash for the first time ever. Does using file sharing programs mess it up? that kinda takes away the point for me :P

  • Thanks for the video...I kinda even liked "How Deep is Your Love?"

  • Stealth mode blocks more ports. You could run into problems file sharing or web serving.

  • What is the downside of using stealth mode?

    In other words why is it not just permanently turned on?

  • how invisible is this? would someone explain?

  • In any other system (Windows etc.) you can do the same thing. Just change the firewall settings to close ports for incoming communication.

  • Not the best solution if you want to network share...
