Help! 5 closed ports while the rest are stealthed.

Question

My ISP recently blocked access to specific torrent sites on foot of a court ruling that it must do so.
Up until they did this, ALL of my ports were "stealthed" by my NAT (hardware) firewall (in my ISP's router).
Now, 5 of my ports report as "closed" instead of "stealthed". I would like to have them report as "stealthed" again.
I have no idea how to do this, so would appreciate advice on the issue.
My router/firewall are made by Netgear for my ISP.
Additionally, when I regularly check the security status of my network on the excellent "Shields Up!", I sometimes find that port 443 (HTTPS) is showing as "open" when I check it. This can be resolved by resetting my Windows Firewall
to its default settings, which returns it to stealth mode.
I have no idea why port 443 is opening or which program may be opening it. Obviously, I am concerned about this.
I hope someone can help!

You would create several pseudo classes on your footer links. First, make sure your footer has an id (or is the actual footer html5 element)...
<div id="footer">your links</div>
or
<footer>your links</footer>
Then in your css, specify that element's link pseudo classes in this order...
#footer a:link {color:white;}
#footer a:visited {color:white;} /*this needs to be set to avoid the default purple on visited links*/
#footer a:hover {color:orange;}
#footer a:active {color:green;} /*this is the color it changes to while clicking*/
or
footer a:link {color:white;}
footer a:visited {color:white;}
footer a:hover {color:orange;}
footer a:active {color:green;}
