Phant0m`` Rule-set $v3.0 *NEW*

It was necessary for me to create 2 rules for 3 DNS servers (DNS-allowed-1)
But you're right; if I desactivate both rules, I cannot access the web.
Why do I need 2 rules for 3 DNS servers ?
Why 3 servers here while you're talking of primary and secondary?

 

Hey Siddhartha

Most ISP gives their customers two Domain Name Servers (DNS), however there are ISP’s that give their customers more then two. You can put the Primary and Secondary DNS addresses into the 1st rule (DNS-Allowed-0) and make another rule which using only “Equal” selection and place it down near the current DNS-Allowed-0 rule position in the rule-set…

 

Exactly what I did.
Tell me Phant0m, when I do the scan test at grc.com, I see a new warning now:
*Your Internet connection's IP address is uniquely associated with the following "machine name":

modemcablexxx.xxx-xxx-xx.mtl.mc.videotron.ca*
---------------------------------------------------------------------
xxx.xxx-xxx-xx is my IP, but written from right to left instead of left to right.
I cannot hide this thing ?
My IP change maybe each 3 months.
Is it normal?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm using BlackICE with LnS, but the firewall in BI is desactivated, the Application Protection too.
Just the Intrusion Detection is running.
Any conflicts possible?
Thank you.

 

Hey Siddhartha

Yea additional updates at grc.com, if you want to hide your external IP Address then use web-proxy and surf anonymous.

IP changes are normal indeed, and as for the conflict possibility with two or more Software Firewalls installed… Truthfully yes conflicts possibility is high and depending on number of factors the conflicts can possibly be “visible” to you...

 

OK.
Thank you Phant0m.
I won't keep BlackICE, just LnS runnning.
I trust your judgement.
Have a good day.

 

Hey Siddhartha

There is no need to trust my judgement, keep BlackICE installed and just keep an eye on abnormal System issues like Crashes, Freezes, and Delays. And even abnormal Internet Performance Delays and connection issues. Monitor Look ‘n’ Stop on regular bases to verify everything stays properly functional, and do online web-scans quite regular too.

If you encounter any anomalies please don’t hesitate to post or Contact Frederic the Author or me…

 

No... I prefer to avoid possible conflicts, and I don't have the skill I think to check if everything is running fine between LnS and BlackICE, specially for very deep hidden "things".
But let me ask: why do we see when we install LnS a message like :drivers not signed.. (didn't have the time to see correctly).
Microsoft dislikes LnS ?

On my side, I love it.
I just hope that Frederic will keep it simple.
Sometimes, when you add to much when you update, the product is not so good as before.
We just need I think a good protection from outside, but a powerful one from our computer to the Web.
Thank you.

 

hi Phant0m,

thx very much for the explanation, i like your rule-set very much, but sadly i couldnt get it to work, as usual, i have problems with windows xp, when i ran Wntlpcfg, i got these ugly popups, (see pic). i will have to sort this out first before i can proceed further. if you know what those popups mean, please help.

1 question: can i import some rules in your set to Enhancedruleset.rls? or can you make a less robust Phant0m rule-set that can be used straight away, just like EnhancedRulesSet.rls?

 

Hey Siddhartha

I apologize for what I had said which disappointed you; maybe people can tell you that they installed up-to several Software Firewalls on the current System without “noticing” any anomalies…

 

Hey wong

You receiving DNS/DHCP Look-up Issues, that’s probably because you changed into the Phant0m`` Rule-set before collecting the Adapter/DHCP/Adapter Addresses while still on your current rule-set…

 

and this:

 

Hey wong

If I introduce to the public a robust rule-set then I’m sending a message that this rule-set requiring necessary Tweaking to avoid unnecessary Leaks. I’ve made it so people need to configure the necessary rules and activate them order to use the Phant0m`` Rule-set, if one didn’t follow the web-page instructions to a tee you’ll experience such anomalies. Your situation is occurring because you switched into the Phant0m`` Rule-set before retrieving the DNS/DHCP/Adapter addresses…

 

Hey wong

Make sure you using WINIPCFG Utility if you on Win9x/ME, and use IPCONFIG or separate Utility such like WntIpcfg if you using Win2K/XP....

 

I'm not disappointed.
I think that Lns will protect me enough without BlackICE installed. And less programs and memory used then.
Sincerely.
Sidd.

 

thank you Phant0m for the great work !

 

Thank you aerox!

Quote from my firewall page:

One of LNS's great fan ( besides me ) is known as Phantom
It is worth to take a look at at what is now known as Phantom's ruleset

 

awwww MickeyTheMan!!!!!

 

Karma Cookie 4 u!

 

Just check it ?!?? You mean GRAB a f* copy and load the rule up and setit right and WOA !

Provided that you have yourself also other layers of protection

But if you could build yourself a small tower with 6 NIC and install a basic kernel model and make a couple of nic loop back you just made yourself a Hardware firewall with no effort and almost no cost

Hey kamui

Before switching from the current rule-set and onto Phant0m``s Rule-set, try retrieving your DNS/DHCP/Adapter Addresses.

 

I already have my DNS and adapter address but I only need DHCP address how to find it or enable it i, xp pro ??
