    i just did a scan over at
    https://nanoprobe.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2
    and i passed everything except for this message which i got for one of the tests
    Unsolicited Packets: RECEIVED (FAILED) — Your system's personal security countermeasures unwisely attempted to probe us in response to our probes. While some users believe that "tracking down" the source of Internet probes is useful, experience indicates that there is little to gain and potentially much to lose. The wisest course of action is to simulate nonexistence — which your system has failed to do. Your counter-probes immediately reveal your system's presence and location on the Internet.

    Im using the july 18 ruleset for dialup which one of these rules is causing this so i can remove or adjust it ?

    Also as to not start another thread since the application filtering for lns isnt as advanced as letting programs out only on certain ports and i use a proxy could it result in another program sneaking out through it
    thanks

    Hey trippinhard

    I believe it might be fault of the Scanning System and not of the rule-set; which test exactly shown that?

    Hey trippinhard

    Was there any shown "Open" ports?
    Or was there indications of yo machine responding to the ICMP Echos ?

    You Add or Modify the rule-set beyond what was mentioned ?
