The toolbox page looks something like this :

Toggle Port Blocking

This facility allows you to enable or disable port blocking on your 
account.

The following ports are normally blocked from outside connections:

    * Port 25 (smtp)
    * Port 80 (http)
    * Port 139 (netbeui/ipx)
    * Port 443

These ports are commonly used for security exploits and denial of service 
attacks.

If, however, you would like to disable port blocking on the above ports, 
you can do so by clicking the toggle button below.

Please be aware that when you make changes to your port blocking, you 
will experience:

    * a wait of 60 seconds followed by
    * a disconnection and re-connection of your account

It doesn't give many options !!
