• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Another Fun One Regarding Routers

I have a computer with a linksys BEFW11S4 router connected to it. The router is wireless and needs to be wireless.

My problem is: The router blocks nearly EVERYTHING i throw at it. Some things it loves and just lets through: I.e Kazaa and Soulseek after some work, and now it likes mIRC because I set up port forwarding.

Now, to be honest with you, I'm super security conscious, so I don't need the router for the hardware firewall capabilities it has. I just need it for my network.

I know I can set up a DMZ Host, but the problem is...that doesn't work. I set it up and it still blocks everything. I have programs that are REALLY convenient and cool, if I could get them to work. Like Gmail Notifier and Moodlogic and stuff like that. I don't get it.


Any suggestions?


Also, is Kerio Personal Firewall better than ZoneAlarm?

P.S--I've even set up port forwarding for EVERY port in range, from 1 to 65535. That doesn't work either.
 
Take those program names head to google and searh for program name used ports. That should get you the information you seek.
