    Hey guys. Been using kerio 2 for a while and decided to switch to looknstop. My question is with games such as americas army and others, whenever I try to play them, it blocks the connection. Do I need to manually set up the ports for each game? Is there an easier way of doing this? Also if I do allow certain port connections wont it leave me vulnerable to any traffic trying to connect through these ports?

    I am not familiar with those games however the short answer is most likely a definitive yes.

    I play a lot of Valve games (via STEAM) which are all the HL, HL2, and other mods that have come out. Steam requires certain TCP and UDP ports to be open in order to play any online multiplayer games.

    My suggestion would be to go and see if the games that you mentiond have a website with an FAQ page or better yet forums. If they do, I am sure that you will get an answer to your question in quick fashion.

    HTH,

    Hi,

    You can also add new rules based on the content of the log you will get after you are trying the game.
    With a right click on one alert you can add a rule very easily.

    Hi,

    I´m still a Outpost Firewall user, but I heard a lot of LNS.
    Is it easier to setup it than OP ?
    About computer resources, etc ? Better than OP ?

    Thanks for your time and help.

    Best Regards,

    DonKid.

    "Resource usage" is certainly better (8.060 mem / 3.816 virtual mem) on my WinXP SP2 machine. You can configure a lot, but the interface is less polished then Outpost, you have to learn using it. :D
