i'm setting up a
DSL WIRELESS FIREWALL (from
SBC)-
1) Do these settings look good?
2) I turned my
NORTON Firewall BACK ON, because i was getting BOMBARDED with popups. i have no problems, and i've been online 3 days.
TWO ACTIVE FIREWALLS = BAD IDEA? (if so, i can shut down Norton's and leave it's POPUP BLOCKER, etc on)
* here are my FIREWALL settings * (by the way, they told me it was a ROUTER too... it doesn't say router anywhere...
how do i check just what it is, if it's working, etc?)
- my
FIREWALL SETTINGS - ALL are DEFAULTS for HIGHEST SECURITY, except for 2 of them:
MAXIMUM PROTECTION - disallow unsolicited inbound traffic
CHECKED: STEALTH MODE (not part of default)
CHECKED: BLOCK PING (not part of default)
-
NOT Checked-
"STRICT UDP SESSION CONTROL" *OUTBOUND CONTROL *
CHECKED (all that follow): HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, TELNET, SMTP, DNS ,POP3 ,IMAP, NNTP, IRC, H323, "ALL OTHER PROTOCOLS"
-
NOT Checked- "NetBIOS"
**INBOUND**
CHECKED: REMOTE MANAGEMENT -
NOT Checked- "NetBIOS"
*ATTACK DETECTION *
CHECKED: TCP/UDP PORT SCAN, Invalid Source/Destination IP Address, PACKET FLOOD (SYN/UDP/ICMP/Other),
INVALID TCP FLAG ATTACKS (NULL/XMAS/Other), INVALID ICMP DETECTION, MISCELLANEOUS (Whatever THAT means!)
-
NOT Checked- "EXCESSIVE SESSION DETECTION"
LOOK GOOD?will my neighbors be able to hack me?
