Archived from groups: comp.security.firewalls (More info?)
I've been looking at personal firewalls and just tried Kerio 4.x (I use
2.1.x a whle ago on a Win2000 install and it worked fine). I basically
want to be told what is trying to get "out/in" to my network and only
allow things that I want. This may give me an idea if I get some nasty
internet infection.
After the install the system rebooted but failed to display the login
box. I booted up in Safe Mode and disabled the Kerio service and on
rebooting the login screen appeared, I was then able to start the
firewall manually (not the ideal fix...)
Whenever I changed the configuration to start the firewall automatically
the system would not display the login screen and had to be reset, I've
since removed Kerio from my system and am using the built in firewall
which isn't as good IMHO but I guess it does the job even though it's a
pain to configure.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Cheers
