Re: Private fw for the non tweeker? A stateful firewall would only block an inbound "TCP SYN" packet as a connection attempt. What you put...
They are really hungry on this one. Now where is that UserCP ignore list setting. - Stem
That is to block inbound connections (TCP SYN) not to "block all inbound TCP". You really need to read the thread more carefully. You also need...
I really dont know why I am waisting my time with this, but anyway, L'n'S rules (just because I have it set up.) The main rule to allow...
But which firewall? I asked earlier which firewall you are using with the implementation you state. If for example, you use 8-signs, which is a...

Nice to see you bellgamin, Always good advice. Regards, - Stem
Hello datarishik, It depends on your setup/needs. Most of these firewalls by default simply allow all traffic for all applications that are...

At the risk of being jumped on by the "Kaspersky supporters club", I am finding KIS to be buggy and/or poorly implemented. I will try and find...
I dont quite understand your statement. You state the only open ports are loopback and file/print sharing, but then state all online scans show...
That port is opened by KIS(AVP.exe). I am not sure as to why KIS would open any port(s) to unsolicited inbound connections. Did you by chance...
The probability is that a user on a private network (such as 192.168.*.*) are on an home network and will want file sharing etc enabled. Well,...
Hi wat0114 Set as "Local" over-rides the netbios blocks/filtering. The Lan needs to be set to "Public" - Stem
Hi wat0114, Port 1110 and 49155 are opened/used by KIS(AVP.exe), the other higher ports used by system/LSASS/WININIT, non of which are blocked...
