12/24   Is there a decent firewall package for Windows XP?  The built in
        firewall (XP Pro) doesn't seem to have the ability to do simple
        things like 'Only allow packets coming from these IP's...'.
        Alternatively, is there an interface to the built in firewall that
        is designed for non-morons?  Yes, yes, I know using a Windows box
        for firewalling is laughable.  I have an XP box on an open network,
        and I would like to put SOME measure of protection on it.
        \_ are you looking for something to protect 1 machine (yours) or
           something to act as a gateway for your office/company? for just
           1 machine you can't do much better than ZoneAlarm http://www.zonelabs.com
           -shac
           \_ One machine.  I'll check out ZoneAlarm.  Thanks. -OP
              \_ Hope you dont play any games on that machine...
                 \_ Why not?  I've used zone alarm for a long time and use the
                    same machine for games.  It isn't an issue.  Stop trying
                    to FUD a good product.
                    \_ Why don't we leave it to the sodan game designers to
                       judge.
        \_ What do you need? Is a $50 linksys sufficient? That's what I did
           (even though I only have 1 PC).
           \_ Yeah, I was thinking software based, but, now that you mention
              it, a $50 linksys may suffice.  Model number?  That said, if
              others have suggestions, please speak up.  I'd like to know
              what other options may be available. -OP
              \_ Go to amazon check out what they have from linksys and
                 netgear. i got the MR814 (wireless) for $45 after rebate.
                 like i said before, i'm using it as a hardware based
                 "ZoneAlarm".
        \_ zone alarm is free.  the 'pro' version costs some trivial amount
           like $30 or $40 or something.
           \_ hi sky!
                \_ No.  I'm not sky.  I'm a astisfied user of the zone alarm
        \_ Winxp pro comes with a firewall.  Turn it on.
           \_ read the post again... he says he's using it.
                   software.  I couldn't pick sky out of a 2 person line up.

11/7    Need help on http proxy. After I VPN to work, I'd like to tunnel
        all the traffic to my machine. How do I setup my machine (Linux)
        as a proxy server so that my home computers can route through it?
        I'm asking because the site we're testing on requires that we
        come from the same IP. If I use VPN, the server will reject me
        based on the fact that it's a different IP than my work Linux.

8/5     It looks like my company has started blocking HTTPS tunneling.
        I used to do this by tunneling SSH through the HTTP/HTTPS proxy
        server, but this seems to have stopped working. Does anyone know
        how the implementation of tunneling detection works, and whether
        there are widely available implementations? We run a bunch of MS
        stuff, so I imagine we're running an MS proxy server or something.

5/23    I have DSL through AT&T. The service was originally established

        my original plan and never converted to a SBC Yahoo! (now AT&T
        Yahoo!) account. I noticed the price will be a lot cheaper if I

        the router so I can access the DSL modem from my 10.0.0.x
        network directly without re-wiring? Static routes? I tried it
        but no much luck. I also tried changing my internal network to

1/28    Just switched to Comcast from SBC and generally happy with it.  But
        can someone please explain to me why they are constantly pumping
        ARP traffic through the network?  It seems harmless, but I'm curious
        as I didn't see it with DSL.  It's a little disconcerting to see
        constant traffic on your router, even if ARPs are harmless from
        a bandwidth perspective, and it makes the WAN send/receive light

FirewallDownload AntispamSoftware EmailServerSoftware FirewallProtection Kerio Technologies Inc is a major provider of Internet security software for small to medium sized networks. Our solutions range from an anti spam filter via email server software, firewall software, intrusion detection software, linux webmail server up to PC router software. All our products protect local networks and personal computers from Internet threats and offer a secure environment for corporate messaging and communication needs. Apart from built-in antivirus functionality and email spam filter, our mail servers are also active directory enabled, which means they can easily import a user base from an existing Active Directory or LDAP server. With our products all offering state of the art features, our email server of course provides both POP3 and IMAP access and even offers webmail for users without an email client - all in one product, available for both Windows and Linux environments. Our router software is developed by the former crew around the award-winning "WinRoute" that was known for it's ease of use, reliability and great performance and that can now all be found in our new router software for windows. Of course, WinRoute offers sophisticated firewall protection, especially for NAT environments. Finally, our personal firewall protects your very own computer from hacker attacks, virusses and other threats from the internet and helps our other tools to provide you with complete communication security. Founded in 2001, Kerio Technologies was formed around the original team of developers that designed the hugely successful WinRoute product family. WinRoute was first published in 1997 and soon gained a favorable reputation for its ease of use, reliability and great performance. Throughout its history, WinRoute has received much recognition from the IT press, industry experts and technology web portals, as being a viable yet affordable alternative to firewall/router appliances. Since receiving ICSA firewall certification in June of 2000, WinRoute Pro has grabbed the attention of customers with high security requirements like US Air Naval Systems and travel reservation giant Amadeus. By offering powerful networking functionality and certified security with a user-friendly Windows interface, WinRoute has become one of the most popular software firewall solutions in its price range. The Kerio development team has cultivated an expertise in writing low-level network drivers that enable our firewalls to gain full control over network traffic. Although historically the team's effort in network security was concentrated around Windows operating systems, Kerio products are developed as platform independent today. In fact, the development team recently contributed to Linux community by fixing Linux kernel driver bug. Kerio has built an impressive portfolio of technical achievements in the area of TCP/IP networking. With market demands to securely share and optimize Internet connections, whether by dial-up, DSL, cable modem, DirecPC or leased line, Kerio provides the solution in a reliable, affordable and easy-to-use software product. Branch offices, telecommuters, Small Offices/Home Offices (SOHO), medium size networks as well as large corporations utilize Kerio products.

Kerio is committed to continue delivering and supporting products that secure communication in a connected world. Kerio's corporate headquarters are located in Santa Clara, California, with offices in Great Britain and the Czech Republic. Kerio WinRoute Firewall 5 is an Internet access management solution that provides industry-leading security for networks of all sizes. Introduced in Windows 2000 Server, Active Directory allows administrators to centrally manage and share information on user accounts and network resources. Potential intruders use various techniques to find out whether a targeted computer is vulnerable to attack. The primary function of any perimeter firewall is to control outgoing and incoming network traffic based on corporate security policy. Protocol inspection helps certain applications with proprietary protocols (not originally designed with firewall negotiation in mind) to be used in secured local area networks. NAT router gives trasparent Internet access to all computers in local network and works great with almost any protocol. Kerio WinRoute Firewall 5 offers a variety of different logs that encompass error reporting, debugging, user definition, status, web browsing, port probes and so on. Kerio WinRoute Firewall offers detailed rule definition to perform stateful inspection of all outgoing and incoming Internet traffic. All messages will be scanned, and updates will be applied automatically. Rules are based on the needs of individual users and the overall security requirements of the organization. Kerio MailServer is state-of-the-art secure email server with collaborative features suited for SME corporate environments, while providing high availability messaging for service providers. All messages will be scanned, and updates will be applied automatically. Includes server based contacts that can be synchronized to an Outlook Express address book. Protocol inspection helps certain applications with proprietary protocols (not originally designed with firewall negotiation in mind) to be used in secured local area networks. Installation does not require server based operating system and works with dial-up as well as DSL, cable or leased line Internet connections. Using NAT, there's no need to modify settings on each computer. The administration console can be installed remotely to allow secure configuration from anywhere on the network. Remote workstations and laptops running KPF are protected from Internet born attacks. Mail server provides secure remote access to administration. The DHCP server in Kerio WinRoute Firewall assigns IP configuration parameters to each computer in the local area network, thus rapidly simplifying network administration. Kerio WinRoute Firewall integrates UPnP technology so that compliant applications such as MSN Messenger can run instantly without requiring additional configuration at the firewall. Residing on each desktop computer, Kerio Personal Firewall allows advanced users or network administrators to create packet filter rules that block or limit traffic for specific ports, protocols, or IP addresses, adding a level of control and security found in sophisticated network firewalls. Introduced in Windows 2000 Server, Active Directory allows administrators to centrally manage and share information on user accounts and network resources. Installation does not require server based operating system and works with dial-up as well as DSL, cable or leased line Internet connections. For networks with dial-up, VPN, ISDN, PPPoE or any other connection type using Windows Remote Access Service (RAS), Kerio WinRoute Firewall can connect to the Internet every time a user places an Internet request. Kerio WinRoute Firewall can store files in the local cache file for a limited time to conserve bandwidth. The DHCP server in Kerio WinRoute Firewall assigns IP configuration parameters to each computer in the local area network, thus rapidly simplifying network administration. Scanning for sensitive information, blocking pop-up windows, filtering out on-line banner ads, and restricting cookies and spyware programs that track browsing habits are functions of KPF that reduce the risk of identity theft and help make surfing the Internet much more pleasant. As far as we could detect, your browser either doesn't support JavaScript or it is deactivated in the settings.
