Low quality tools like Whoer often use scary wording to make people think something is wrong when in reality everything is working exactly as it should.
When you use the internet, your device connects to services through ports:
Port 80 (HTTP) → basic web browsing
Port 443 (HTTPS) → secure web browsing
Port 22 (SSH) → secure shell (access remote servers)
If these ports were actually closed on the VPN or Stealth Proxy server, you wouldn’t be able to load websites at all. So yes, ports 80 and 443 are "open", because without them you have no internet.
What those websites show you is not proof of "hacking risk". They are simply detecting that our VPN server allows standard web traffic - which is literally the whole point of the VPN! They frame this as a "security issue" to scare non-technical users into thinking they need to buy extra protection (often conveniently from them).
Simply use DoesMyVPN.work to do basic checks to ensure that the VPN is up and running. Ignore the marketing noise.
