Shields UP!! Common Ports Probe

It seems as though ES failed this. Can I make settings that will correct it?
Also, what about some sort of "Stealthing" like OPP has?

OPEN! Secure Shell provides a secure-connection version of the Telnet remote console service with additional features. Unfortunately, the SSH services and their security add-on packages have a long history of many widely exploited buffer overflow vulnerabilities. If your system has this port exposed to the outside world you should be vigilant in keeping your SSH service updated.

UPnP
OPEN! Universal Plug'n'Play is Microsoft's new protocol for allowing PCs to automatically discover and control a wide range of locally networked peripherals. This powerful protocol is likely to expose the user's machine to many clever remote security exploits and vulnerabilities. And, unfortunately, Microsoft has enabled this insecure protocol by default -- even if your system doesn't need or use it. You can easily disable this with our free UnPlug n' Pray utility.

 

I have mine setup the same. I wonder why SSH and UpNp are open for connection on my system? VISTA Ultimate 64 here.

 

Normally it is not wise to run 2 firewalls. There should be a place to make these settings in the firewall. If not there now then it should be a option. ESET, please take note. Allot of people I deal with will dl a firewall and go to "Sheilds Up" to test it. Now ZA passes this test and I hate the calling home "vector" it has and you can't disable it or the firewall won't work. So, I think this will give you more customers if you can pass some of these simple to lame test that amke a difference to allot of consumers. Thanks, JAS

 

Try to use Windows Woorsm Doors Cleaner.

 

ESS firewall is running perfectly for me. Can you check (a) if the test is probing the correct IP address, and (b) if you are behind a router that is set to open DMZ access to another computer on your network.

 

It was the correct IP addy. I am behind a router with 1 other computer on it. When I was running OP Pro it was always secure with the correct settings of course. I did the test w/o a proxy. I think some more advanced settings for those that are so inclined to use would be great and set ESET's firewall right up there like it should be. If it could generate false IP's as an option, Block subnet mask of IP for a period of time chosen ect. just a couple to look at. I will try the next beta and see what had been implemented. Thanks, JAS

 

If you are behind a router then have you set the router DMZ to point at your PC with Eset on it ?

If not then you are not testing the PC and Eset's firewall.

 

What I can do is try a direct connection on my 5ghz connection and see what ESS will do. Thanks, JAS
