The router takes one IP address and allows many devices to connect to the Internet using a complex protocol called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation Network Address Translation (NAT)].  Each time a computer requests information, such as going to “Google,” it puts it in a “packet” (think of an envelope) that the router opens, looks for an address, and then sends it to the Google web page, and in turn the Google web page sends a packet back with the information that opens up in your browser—only first the Router again opens the return packet to make sure that someone inside your private network requested it, and then sends it to the appropriate computer.

What if a packet comes in that no one requested?  The Router puts it in the “trash”—in technical terms, the Router “drops” the packet.  This keeps bad stuff out, and allows only what you’ve asked for to come in.

So what does this mean for this application?  As stated above FZS uses an encrypted protocol to receive data.  The Router can’t see that the encrypted data “packets” are “OK” to let in on the ports they are coming in on, and thus thinks that a hacker is trying to break in because those ports are closed.
