hi
siljaline i know this isn't the forum for this but i
think it was you who turned me on to kerio firewall. i was
going to wait till i got broadband before turning it on
but decided to play with it now. went to "pc flank" and
took all their tests and passed with flying colors. i like
the way they send things to attack my machine. well anyway
i only have one problem, my browser is only 50% secure, i
still can send info on last sites visited. have to work on
that.....could you guide me on this.....bob

Bob!
You're supposed to ask questions first :-)
You've got yourself into some fairly serious trouble.

Probably Net traffic, Bob... nothing to worry about buddy :-)

Test your Kerio setup here: http://grc.com/default.htm
(Click on the "Shields-Up" Link).
Other good test sites http://www.dslreports.com/scan
http://scan.sygate.com/

Remember, your firewall is only as good as it is configured.
Third-party products like these rarely work well, out-of-the box.

Bob - if you want *other* questions answered, please start a
*New Thread* for each. Otherwise this thread is going to get
a mile long in a hurry ;)

Regards and be careful out there!
