My Port 22 (SSH) is closed, everything else is stealthed on GRC. OK?

"Stealthed" is worthless, closed is fine.

I would disagee with this - there's no point in replying to SYN on ports which are not in use. True, in a server where some ports must be open there isn't a big advantage in not replying, but in a home PC there would be no way to determine if a machine even existed at that IP. Assuming the PC also does not respond to ICMP traffic, and assuming the attacker cannot sniff an upstrem router of course.

 
if they show up as closed, then they will just move on anyway. I'm with N0c, stealthed is a 'l33t' kid setting to strive for. Practice commen security and then you won't care if you are stealth or closed.
