Its free for private use, pay for business, they trust you not to keep using it past 30 days if your not buying. It wont go splat in 30 days.

169184 2003-08-22 06:46:00 > PS... Have also got XP Home firewall activated. It does not, apparently, tell you if anything untoward is happening. So how can you make a choice to block or let thro?? PJ

PJ, you can't. :-(

Read up all about Kerio at the link Greg posted on this page and stick to that. :-)

Shhhhhhhhhh!

No one I know actually uses the XP firewall, never mind knows what all those settings are for, so who would be able to give PJ a hand when he gets stuck and has a heap of questions to be answered? :O


> however if you have a decent software firewall why bother with the XP one.

Now you are talking. ;-) :D

169189 2003-08-22 11:09:00 Thomas.. Have just printed the XP Firewall info you put up, thanks.. Total of Four (4) pages. The Kerio was Twenty Four (24) pages. At the momwnt they are both on. PJ Poppa John (284)
169190 2003-08-22 11:33:00 The XP firewall only blocks incoming connections. It won't let you block what is going out or on an application basis. As far as I can tell the level of control is similar to pinholing on an ADSL router. -=JM=- (16)
169191 2003-08-24 10:34:00 It is free for "Personal" use. Bussinsesses must pay after the 30 day trail............www.kerio.com mark.p (383)
169192 2006-07-22 03:15:00 For me, both have worked good, but is always good to know what Consumer Report (http://www.articles-free.ca/) have to said. Btw, these kind of forums are so useful, i can find any kind of information here.

thanks
