Too bad it doesn't have any logging of packets to unopened ports...

Exactly why I won't use it. "I" decide what passes through, not Kerio. KPF
version 4 is a step in the wrong direction - a "firewall for dummies" like
Zone Alarm.


I don't need a firewall "protecting" my computer when offline. Another step
towards the "firewall for dummies."



KPF 4 has been a buggy piece of junk since it's inception, mainly the
reason why I and numerous other former beta testers decided to have nothing
to do with it.

I tried out 4.0.16 recently, thinking that it should be pretty bug free
by this time, and within 3 or 4 hours I saw 4 bugs.. one of which was
pretty serious. By itself, it changed one of my rules, which is
ridiculous.. And the worse thing about it is it's total lack of
logging. You can't see what's going on without logging. So I'm
sticking with Kerio 2.1.5, which I like much better anyway.

It's amazing that they can't get the bugs worked out or put necessary
features in the damn thing...
