But remember that the results might depend on where
you are scanning from.
Specifically, if you scan an address on the same machine then
you might sometimes get "false positives". That is, your
connection is allowed from the local machine, but not allowed
from the internet. I don't understand the details, but I suspect
it does not traverse the input filter chain.
Maybe it will even depend on whether you use iptables or ipchains.
