| 200069 | 2003-12-13 06:45:00 | What differences? I am using 2.1.4 which appears to be doing the job OK. Bye |

| 200071 | 2003-12-13 09:23:00 | The new version from 4.x is a total revamp of Kerio. It looks totally different and since I found it a bit difficult to get my head around I went back to my older version. Will have another go at it sometime but meanwhile the older version is OK for me still. | Susan B (19) | ||
| 200072 | 2003-12-13 09:34:00 | Actually it was Suzie Bee that got me onto Kerio in the first place :D But the new version is a lot closer to the old AtGuard and the new Norton's personal firewall |

Fine if you do not no better, put does not let you completley secure your PC. Also I found that the rules where all "stuffed" up, like NPF and it was almost impossiable to add my favouriot rule of block all incomming TCP/UDP. Also it had what it called "internal rules" that could not be over-rided.. Mmmm I went right back too the old version. At least it lets ME make the rules, order them and control just what I wont too happen. |

| 200074 | 2003-12-14 03:58:00 | ????????? The filter rules option under 'packet filter' are basically the same as in Kerio 2. TCP and UDP are separate and would have to be added individually, where as in version 2.x there is a TCP and UDP option. Anyway I will give it a prolongued trial and see how the extra features work before it reverts to the free version :) |

| 200075 | 2003-12-14 04:17:00 | I'm still using 4.0.6 (beta edition). All you really lose upon reverting to the free mode is the web filtering... which I didn't see much point in anyway (I believe it was the cause of stopping Hotmail working from within Outlook Express). Proxomitron would do a better job. You also lose the password protection, and logging to syslog - oh, and gateway mode for ICS. I don't understand the thing about built-in rules, but I disabled the predefined rules in place of my own settings. And you can make a rule valid for any application by selecting 'any' from the drop down list. |

At least it lets ME make the rules, order them and control just what I wont too happen. That is what I found, though I think with a bit of fiddling you can get it how you want it. What I miss most in the newer version is being able to double-click on Kerio's icon to have a look at the traffic. You get a much more detailed view in the older one compared to the new version in my opinion. It probably just needs getting used to though. It is interesting that in some forums the "(Kerio) firewall experts" were not very happy with the new version the last time I looked (a month ago). |

| 200077 | 2003-12-14 11:55:00 | I find it offers the same information Susan, in Overview|Connections, just need to expand out the individual programs. I must say that I do like the program security options once having got used to it. |
