I was trying to reinstall Kerio 2.1.5, but I did not keep a copy.
Either my eyesight is getting really bad, or Kerio has removed version
2.

Can anyone provide a link? I'll archive it if they have removed it
from their site and allow for archiving.

Whoops. 86 that. The PL link still works (should have started there)
and the EULA does not allow for archiving.

So, it's best to archive your own copy, which requires a key! It's
been so long I forgot about that. Tuck away a copy and key on CD.

My problem seems to have stemmed from duplicate program rulesets for
the same program on different drives. I got a fatal error for some
reason when trying to do this.
 
Question about Kerio (and firewalls in general). I am behind a DSL
modem/router (Cayman) which runs NAT. Steve Gibson's famous scanners tell me
that I'm invisible. So do I need a firewall?

Kerio's web page says:

--- Blocks all externally originated IP traffic.
NAT does that for me already.

--- Automatic stealth mode renders the desktop invisible to potential
intruders.
Gibson already tells me that I'm invisible.

--- MD5 signature verification protects against Trojans spoofing as trusted
programs.
If that's what I think it is ("real" identification of program's trying to
get "out" ... unlike Zone Alarm's name-based verification) ... then this is
good.

Verdict?
 
Software firewalls are still useful because they can block programs from
connecting to the internet without your consent. Useful for trojan/worm
viruses, spyware, or just generally having a better hold on your system.

Steve Gibson (and his site and tests) have about as much credibility in the
security world as Osama Bin Laden. There are far better tests available.
Gibson's site only tests a few ports.

That all depends on how -safe- you feel.


I think he's drowned. ;-)

N/A for personal use, IMS. ;-)

Yes, the threat of an internal trojan is one reason you still might
need a firewall. Kerio uses MD5 and will alert you anytime a program
that you have a ruleset for changes.

Kerio is very small and unobtrusive after you get it setup. I
recommend the higher level of security.

Give it a try. He scans the first 1056 ports now.

Also, I'm pretty sure your router doesn't filter outwards connections.
Useful for finding evil adware/spyware that try to connect outwards without
your permission.

Please provide constructive criticism rather than useless banter. If Gibson
has little credibility in the security world in your opinion, please give
reasons.

And as previously pointed out, Gibson's Shield's Up tests any and all ports.

But Osama Bin Laden has a multitude more credibility in the security world
than you have. :-p
