    Trying this in place of sygate ,and so far really like it.
    I am not very good at rules.I have it set on general mode.
    When i go into rules and look at firefox etc,i see it has created rule to allow all directions.Do i need to allow in,or out,and if so which one is server and how do i deny server.
    With sygate i denyed server but is in or out server.Can someone please explain how
    Thanks

    Been a while since I've had Filseclab installed, but if I recall, you should be able to achieve stealth with following:

    Create a rule:
    Application: (browse for your Firefox)
    Remote: Anynet
    Direction: In
    Time: Anytime
    Protocol: TCP
    Action: Deny
    This rule should be placed BEFORE your other browser app. rule which typically is: Anynet / All / Anytime / All / Pass.

    Cheers

    You can get a good general idea of firewall rules and the such by looking at BlitzenZeus's kerio 2.1.5 ruleset Here. This is where I learned a ton about firewalls, the internet, etc. I only barely tried Filseclab on an old box of mine, but I prefered Kerio 2.1.5, so sorry I can't help you there.

    Good luck,

    You should only need rules 'out' for most things. One exception might be p2p apps, they do need 'in' also generally speaking. But if you're just browsing with Firefox or any browser all you need is an 'out' rule. And if you now get stealth on grc.com then you're fine.
