Phantom's Rules?

Hi everyone,

can someone tell the easiest way to get Phantoms Ruleset into LNS once I install it? It's a zip file by Winzip. Do I need Winzip in order to extract?

Thanks everyone!

 

I use 7-zip
go here for more info on Phant0m's ruleset

 

I had a copy of his rules, but didn't know if I needed Winzip to open file. I'm not familiar with that program. Thanks for the link to 7zip. I did d/l it.

Do I extract this folder inside LNS folder?

Thanks

 

Jep, just extract the rules inside the LnS folder. Then change the ruleset used in the internet filtering window!

 

Awesome SSK! Thanks a lot! No buggies with these rules?

I have always used a suite for AV & FW etc, this will be the first time for stand a lone apps. It was indeed, a tough decision! Going to all the forums to get the scoop on each AV & FW. I read an article on LNS @gkweb and it said LNS had the best outgoing packet filtering, thats why I decided to take a look at LNS.

 

Keep in mind, that Phant0m's rules are a lot more restrictive then the default rulesets. So, it could be that some programs don't work because they are blocked.
Keep that in mind when things don't work on first run!

 

You know what, if Harden-It and Samurai work on my system, I probably wouldn't need the heavier rulesets. I will have to look into that.

 

I don’t think you in reference to initiating connections from remote machines, in both rule-sets you still have to create/import rules for additional services, something which I wouldn’t have any other way.

 

Hi Phantom,

Can you explain what you mean by additional services? I guess I'm going to have to go to soft4ever.com/forum to see about making rules. Regardless of what ruleset I use, I will have to create rules.

What are the known common blocks with these rules?

Thanks
