HI , Frederic , ty 4 replying me , im new into firewall setting , i got a question , wht is "sniffer" & "sniffer rules" ?

Another question is whts different of 2.05p2 & 2.05p3 ? Im using 2.05p3

sorry for my stupid question

 

It is a rule that will not block/allow a packet but just log it

In other words, the rest of the ruleset continues to be examined, to know if the packet has to be blocked or not.
With a standard rule, the packet is allowed or blocked and the other rules are not examined.

ty for replying me


Another question is whts different of 2.05p2 & 2.05p3 ? Im using 2.05p3 , b/c when i download LnS from LnS offical website , version is 2.05p2 , whts different of them ? tyvm

 

The 2.05p3 content is described here:
https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=98973&highlight=2.05p3

It was considered as a beta version, that's why it is not available from the main site.
Now you should no longer download the 2.05p3 but the 2.06b1.

Hi -NiCeGuY-

1- Double-arrow symbol:

This control allow a program to launch an other one...

Example:

Windows explorer never connect directly to internet but it is needed to launch all the other (like a browser). The double-arrow symbol means that w.e is allowed to do this.

When this control is disable (no double-arrow symbol) the program is allowed to connect to internet but not to launch an other program to connect to internet...

2- Different way to start LNS:

Start menu = you have to start LNS manually <<== edit: wrong! this is a stratup from user's start programs.

System = LNS is started as a program from HKLM\software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Service = LNS is started as a windows service (to check the services: start | run | services.msc ...)

3- Extra-save

The list of the authorised programs are saved into a ".reg" file in the LNS folder.

 

HI , Climenole , ty 4 reply my question again , & u r so nice

 

Hi -NiCeGuY-

Oups !

The option "start menu" is NOT a manual startup
but an LNS startup from user start programs...

Sorry.

 

Hi , Climenole , i got new question about LnS , wht is "LnSSvc" & lnscfg ? i saw those 2 *.exe in LnS folder , whts function of em ? And how to use , sorry 4 stupid question again

ty 4 reply

 

Hi,

LnsSvc is used automatically by Look 'n' Stop when you have configured the start mode to SerViCe. You don't have to use it by your own.

Lnscfg is used to install/uninstall one driver. Again this is automatically used by the setup and the uninstaller, and you don't have to start it manually (except if I ask you to do so to solve a problem )
