Kerio 2.1.5 filter rules keep disappearing

[John Corliss]

Has anybody experienced the Kerio 2.1.5 filter rule set being reset to
the default set for no apparent reason? This was happening on my
computer for a while, now it seems to have stopped happening. Then, I
installed the firewall on a friend's computer and it just happened to
THAT computer.

Does anybody know why this is happening?

TIA

try password protection in options. export rules
so its easy to recover. set perf conf as read only
file.

Thanks very much for replying.

Yes, I backed up the ruleset file yesterday. Was just hoping to find out
if anybody knew what was causing the file to get reset in the first place.

Hi John,

Short answer no.

I also use same version of kerio.
When i installed it i followed suggestions as per
pacman's portal & answers that work sites which
pointed me to "personal firewall" kerio & tiny personal firewall
- i forget the exact url but i have it somewhere. - sorry not much
help so far.

i made up rules as suggested.
then [as suggested] ran kerio in 'learn ' mode.

I finished up with 8 different rule sets - you can load / or save
different sets as desired.

I'd be quite willing to swap conf sets.
<grin> yours might be better than mine.


Back to your original question.
1. what else is running
Anti-virus ?
anti spyware ?

maybe check with Hijack this & post the contents of the log
here and maybe to a free tech-tips site.

2. some progs in (1) might cause "it" to happen

3, (paranoia) malaware etc
