Use Router As A Firewall

Apr 29, 2009

I want to use my router as a firewall. I don't know if this matters, but I have a D-Link Model: DI-624M.

I would like to be asked on all outgoing and incoming internet actions.

I attached the page of the instruction manual if that helps, it sure didn't help me.

DoesBuilt Firewall On Router Keeps Computer Safe

Apr 16, 2012

Does a built in firewall on a router really keep your computer safe? Does that mean keeps safe from email virus, or websites? Or is it only keep you safe from direct attacks? I starting see I have a lack of understanding of how things work? back in the days there was one way to get a virus lol seems things have gotton much more complicated I mean seems like you neeed twelve programs HIPS , Firewalls, Malware, anti virus, anti root kit.

General Bad Connectivity - Reset Router / Turned Off Firewall But Same

Oct 7, 2012

My connection keeps going out randomly and my computer is just having general bad connectivity. I know it is my computer because no other computers in the household are having this problem. I'm not really good with internet issues, but I've reset my router, restarted my computer, turned off firewall and antivirus. Those didn't work, and I did try using a ethernet cable but it didn't work any better.

I Want The Firewall To Ask Me About Every Program

Jun 10, 2009

after I installed RC 7100 the firewall used to ask me if I'd like to allow a outbound connection for every program that would try to connect.

Unfortunately it doesn't do that anymore. In the Windows Firewall Properties I can only chose Allow or Block Outbound for the different profiles. If I set it to block, it will silently block all outbound connection attempts.

I want to have it blocked by default, but I don't want to have to create rules manually for each program, I'd like the original behavior, that is, have it ask me on connection attempt. Where can I set that?

IIS 7.5, Windows 7 Firewall

Jun 12, 2009

I'm having some problems with windows' firewall. Last night I tried to set up a simple ftp server (to share a couple of folders, and access that folder through other computers connected to the network by typing the IP address into a browser/ftp client on the other computer). My problem simply is, that I cannot connect to the ftp. It works fine when I try to access it from my computer (which is the server).

But I can't connect to it through other computers, unless I turn off Windows Firewall. I tried playing around with the Inbound/Outbound rules (disabled/enabled everything), nothing worked. I also have FTP allowed in "Allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall", and I still haven't managed to get it to work. Can anyone suggest any solutions?

Windows 7 Firewall Won't Allow SSH Or FTP?

Jun 24, 2009

I've got an issue that's been driving me crazy. I've installed MobaSSH and the windows firewall absolutely refuses to let it through. I've taken down the firewall and everything works fine, so I know its the firewall. Same problem with a Serv-u FTP server but I'm not as worried about that as I am the SSH server. MobaSSH adds itself as a service, so while it was running I found the process and made sure that it was added to the firewall, I can find nothing else to add to exceptions. I haven't found much in terms of firewalls for Windows 7, so I would prefer to get this to work instead of switching firewalls

Firewall Problem

Apr 18, 2009

I have a home server that runs utorrent and sabnzbd. I access them both via their web interfaces from my main computer. Now, up until recently the server has run on XP since it only has 512MB of ram, but after reading that seven will run on that I installed 7077. My main computer already runs on 7068. Problem is now I have real problems connecting via the web interfaces.

I can connect most of the time with the IP address in the address (ie http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8080/sabnzbd/), but when using the network name (http://server:8080/sabnzbd/) it takes several minutes just to refresh. This would be okay, but other programs that tie in with sabnzbd fail on both IP and network names.

Now, when I disable the 'private' side of windows firewall on the server the problem vanishes. But despite my best efforts I can't make a rule that let's it work while the firewall is up.

Additional Firewall

Jul 26, 2009

Currently I'm using Comodo Internet Security as a firewall and I'm planning to build a home network using Windows 7 Homegroup and thought that Comodo might be an obstacle in doing that.

So my question is, as a normal home user of Windows 7, do I really need a 3rd party firewall other than Windows 7's firewall?

Firewall And HomeGroup

Nov 5, 2009

Right now I'm trying the combo Windows Firewall + MSE. Everything is working fine except one thing. If I activate the outbound protection in the firewall the homegroups feature stops working properly. I can't see my other computer (same configuration on both).

You don't have to be a genius to see that there's some missing outbound rule and that's why the win firewall is blocking this feature.

The question is: Does anyone knows how to configure the Windows Firewall for this feature to work properly ?

Compaq Presario CQ-62 wireless laptop - 64 bit - win7 - Avast AV I am trying to set the firewall to Private/Home as that is where I am. The pc keeps switching it to public which is where I am NOT.

I need to know how to set it for either situation and can't seem to come up with anything so far.
