    In general Emsisoft Internet Security distinguishes between private and public networks. Per default only packets originating from public networks are dropped. So from your home network you will still be able to access your computer as long as your home network is set to private. Emsisoft Internet Security by the way is able to use the Windows network type setting. You may have seen the network type selection dialog when you connect your system to a new network, that asks you whether you are in a home, work or public network. Emsisoft Internet Security can use your answer from there to automatically set up the correct network type in Emsisoft Internet Security as well, so you don't have to answer the same question twice ;).

    Was any other firewall software installed at the time?

    I think I already posted most of those screenshots in the beta thread where you asked for them a few months ago. They haven't changed since then.

    Yes, there is no need to keep it around. Surf protection does a better job at blocking access to domains, at it does work for non-HTTP connections as well (like HTTPS for example).

    I don't think there is yet, but I am not involved in the homepage very much. I have asked the web team whether it is available somewhere and if not suggested to add it.

    Thanks. I will make sure to forward your nice comments to the EIS team :).

    You asked whether licenses are region restricted, which they are not. However, each country has its own price list that is based on the countries average income. This is not new and common practice for most products that are sold internationally. It is the only way for us to offer our software in low income countries.

    Since licenses aren't region restricted, you are free to buy a license in a different country and import them. Keep in mind though, that you are doing so at your own risk.

    Congrats Emsisoft !

    Just a small question.

    I have bought a (1 year) license for the "old" EIS (EAM and OA) just last month to use on my NUC.

    Is there a time frame in which I have to upgrade to the new version, or ?

    The reason why I am asking is because that combo just runs perfectly for me (I bought a license after 1 day in the Trial version :thumb: )

    We don't intend to shut down the conversion any time soon. If we ever plan to do so, we will announce it ahead of time.

    That won't help as the Sygate firewall driver would still be active. You will have to uninstall Sygate in order to run EIS properly.

    the reason i knew about the 50% is a have a client who is here that normally lives in india and his lic is expiring next week and he is not going back for about 4-6 weeks, he tried to buy one from india but the web site of course always takes him to the us page because for now he is here. he was thinking about having his wife purchase the lic for him but he would activate it here (in florida usa) and he asked me if i knew if there would be any issues doing that. that is why i asked about the regional thing. i know other companies would block the lic key by doing that.

    Hi thanks for your rapid reply. So as I understand it "Private" networks are not "stealthed" so that others on your "private network" will be able to "see' your pc (or something like that).

    I was asking more in terms of my PC ports being "stealthed" to others on the internet , as in "Shields-Up" type of stealth. I understand that having stealthed ports does not necessarily make your PC any more secure and that full stealth is often used more as a sales gimmick rather than as an enhanced method of avoiding intrusion, but everything else being equal I would prefer my PC ports to all be stealthed. So what I was asking is whether or not my PC ports being blocked on the world-wide-web rather than stealtheed is as it was intended.

    Hi Hawki

    I've tested EIS, on my one machine that isn't behind my router. Indeed on the GRC site all ports showed blocked.

    Two products merged into one? I own a licence for Antimalware. This new product adds online armor. So why are existing customers not being offered a discount of 50% as standard? You are only adding 50% more to the product that I currently use. I went on the website and I am being offered 25%o_O Also, if Internet Security is the same price as Antimalware, then why can't I use my licence on Internet security. I have paid the same. Something about all this just doesn't sit right.

    testing now. so far its really nice. it is a bit heavier than i like, slowed down my browsing a bit. file wise on the system seems pretty quick. so far has blocked everything i have tested it against. i did see though with a few .rar files it did not detect them on download until they were extracted. otherwise very good detection.

    i do wish they made it easier for the average user with the firewall. like a simple app control. basically as an example firefox.exe and either a simple block or allow instead of having to make the rules for them. unless there is a learning mode or something i have not seen yet im still messing with the settings now.

    EIS does not add Online Armor it uses a new Firewall architecture developed themselves.

    What degree of protection will I get with EMSI 9. if I just leave the firewall as it is installed, e.g., no rules, changes etc ?

    Yes I also tested it at GRC - had a few that were stealthed with all others blocked.

    That's right; I forgot - these days my neurotransmitters are only good for... these days. :D

    Here they are for those who didn't religiously follow that now 23-page thread:

    How about those "Set network trust level" and "Advanced configuration" settings?

    Good on the "Domains" dump, long overdue.

    And I just picked up on yesterday's "Is it fair to say..." topic by ruirib on your forum that HIPS has been phased out, too. (No discussion needed; just thought I'd mention it, again for those who didn't live in the beta auditorium - if that was made known there.)

    Speaking of screenshots, for their presentation of EIS9 Softpedia (as of this posting) combined their pre-existing screen shots of EAM9 and OA7 rather than a "coming soon." Sad, but hopefully a correction will follow shortly.

    I just booted into the snapshot, and uninstalled Sygate, and rebooted. Network connection and access to internet was OK, as per FW logs.

    There you go:

    upload_2014-9-11_0-20-48.png

    This dialog essentially allows you to define whether or not a certain network is a public or a private network, which essentially defines how most packets are treated and whether or not Windows network services are available within that network.

    upload_2014-9-11_0-23-37.png

    The Advanced Firewall Settings at the moment only allow you set default rules for trusted and unknown applications. The default is to allow applications that EIS trust to access the internet and ask for all others. You can change it here so you are asked for all applications or block unknown applications outright. Nothing too complex as of yet.

    BTW, there's a typo in the french translation of "Allow".
    Currently, it's "Atuoriser" but it should be "Autoriser".

    Thanks!

    I merged the old license to a new one and installed the new EIS.

    It works perfectly but I notice a delay (sometimes) when asking to create Firewall rules (I set everything to ask)

    For example: I started firefox for the first time, but it took at least 10-15 secs for the dialogue to come up if I would allow Firefox to connect to the Internet. And there was nothing else running in the Background.

    But I'm impressed and it just works, good Job Emsisoft !

    Does EMIS 9 have a Game Mode -- or just have to set outbound connections to allow or block?

    Been interrupted while gaming with Allow/ Block Dialogue :)

    Yes, it has.
    Go to tray icon, make a right click and select Protection status-Enter Game mode.

    I think Game Mode is automatic, so when you go full screen it will be activated.
