Kerio

I guess it is a good thing I got Kiero after I went to Roadrunner.

Deke...

Yes it's a good thing that you have a good working firewall ... of course not all firewalls necessarily give all of the details but they still do the job.
Here's a summary of what my firewall stopped from getting in here just in the past 48hrs.

DS- You got me to thinking. I haven't looked into Kerio since downloading it last week. After reading your post I found out how to have Kerio create a log file. Thanks for the push.

 

A log file is a good thing to look at because it does give you an idea of who and what and most important to what extent you're getting hit.

It took me a while to get used to the log file because every-time I looked it was... well as you can see quite lengthy. After a quick review I clear it every two or three days. There's no real need to try and dissect each entry line for line, after a while I learned what to look for... this one has a 3 color system to highlight the threat level urgency, yellow is common, orange gets my attention, and red entries are seldom I've seen one or two in six months.
It all gets blocked regardless of the type of attempted intrusion and the severity of it, but it's nice to see who, what and to what extent.

Anyone on DSL or Cable that thinks it's safe to be without a good firewall should take just one good look at any good firewall log file for just a 48hr period and I'm sure they'd be convinced otherwise.
