[HIPS]Free Netchina S3 HIPS 3.5.5 released

i wonder how can a firewall ---lacking the basic functionality of prompting about any other application is trying to access the internet------- reach a very high score on matousec
such firewall failed even the very simple leak test from grc leaktest1.2.exe

it has strong hips antispoofing anti DOS and DDOS functionality
but lacks the simple fuction of the firewall to prompt about internet access
i partiallly understood its mechanism as a firewall
it sets general or global rules for all appliactions all tohether "browsers , download managers , instant messaging , and even trojans


i think classifying this firewall as a very good firewall by matousec's firewall challenge , indicates one thing which is "how useless and crazy the firewall challenge of matousec is "

so that in my opinion
the simplest and weakest firewall according to matousec will be more effective than that

 

Maybe there is something wrong with your installation. Maybe you have it configured incorrectly.

 

1st ---this happens with the default configuration so if this is wrong , so u can blame the default configuration not me

2nd ---it has no english help file , so who supposed to help me in that ?

3rd ---it is not me alone that noticed that
many people who tried this firewall in the wilders noticed the same thing
it does NOT prompt for any application tries to access the internet
here's a proof that this's not only me to notice that

1. 
   
   so i suggest for the Netchina S3 developing team
   1st - to do an english help file and english home page just if they want Netchina S3 to be more than a local software
   
   2nd - they should fix this bug
   and give prompt about any thing is trying to access the internet
   so the user can block or allow any individual application from accessing the internet
   
   it's a good piece of software but i thing it needs more work on it
   it will be so promising if they worked hard on Netchina S3 and listen to the user comments and apply thier requests
   
   
   best regards

 

any aditional comments on this tool?

 

I tried it briefly a while back. Convoluted. Not a friendly GUI. It might be a good HIPS, but I'm just not interested in messing with a steep learning curve when there are so many good, easy, stable, proven HIPS available nowadays.

Why lasso a wild cow when milk is so plentiful?

Pity for Vista what about Windows 7?

 

Well, since 7 is just a little overdone Vista ATM at least, I'd suppose same thing...

 

So it is a product for the past but not for the future except all would stay with windows xp.

I restarted it again...maybe it was an error...not! my pc was freezed...restarted it again and again and again...i had to reinstall my os man...not because i was hacked or because my system was full of viruses but because of a software that should of helped me.... not satisfied (this is for netchina)
