advance configuration

[Hmm_at_it]

heh, I'm quite interested in LnS. However for some reason the 'options' seem overly complex. Especially after having spent so much time using ZA Pro, my previous firewall. And I really need to get away from ZA before it gets to the usefulness of XP's firewall.

I'm a simple dial-up user. And general needs would closely immitate that of ZA, with some personal control exceptions.

I need to drop (not reject, mind you) tcp packets to me for all ports. And to only allow ports to be opened to incomming traffic which a program specificly requests, and I approve of, on case by case basis. Also known as "Stealth"

On the other hand, if looknstop would have a method of discovering just what ports various programs that I use are attempting to use, that would be just as good.

While the old one did a wonderful job of this, I detest its ability(or lack thereof) to control just what ports and protocals a (or any) program may or may not use.

While it would be nice to 'allow' certain protocals and ports, I want packets sent to them to drop unless the port is specificly being used by a service on my computer.

Will it be possible with LnS? And how difficult? I hate to waste my time installing shareware when I know uninstalling most of them leaves their stupid markers on my system saying the product was installed at some point.

Any comments on the matters are most welcome.

Hey Hmm_at_it

There are two versions of Look ‘n’ Stop Personal Firewall;

#1. Look ‘n’ Stop Lite (Freeware (Disadvantage: No Application Filtering Layer))
#2. Look ‘n’ Stop PRO (30-Day Trail-ware (After Trial has expired Look ‘n’ Stop is still fully functional at Packet Filtering Layer, however Application Filtering Layer is non-Functional.))

Now I disagree that Installing Look ‘n’ Stop is a waste of time, in-fact Installing Look ‘n’ Stop is the only way for someone to actually get the feel of this product in away that you cannot by reading what others posts…

-

Now Look ‘n’ Stop wouldn’t be much of a Rule-base Software Firewall if it didn’t allow you Controls of the Inbounds/Outbounds, In-fact it’s Controls is much greater then most of the other Software Firewalls currently existing today…

-

Its learning curve may be little difficult for new-comers; but Frederic can be contacted by E-mail or by the Forum, and we dedicated Look ‘n’ Stop Customers here are always glad to assist whenever needed…
