looknstop problems I got

[extrabigmehdi]

Hi,

I got various problems in trying looknstop firewall work with nlite.

1) when I disable some services in advance with nlite, the firewall may not be anymore able to block any aplication. It was still able to analyse inbound/outbound traffic, but since the main feature I was interested was app blocking, it was not satisfyied.

I didn't find which service was responsible of this, and the worse is that if you disable manually the services after install then it works fine. Disgusted after spending hours in finding the best advice on how to tweak services,

I ended up to tweak nothing in that part (maybe, I 'll try next year, if I find ever the courage).

2) Removing the "system retore service", prevent looknstop to be launched automatically at restart.

It made me very upset because all my testing under VMWare were successfull.

So many tests to realize at the end it's not that reliable.

However, I can still disable it in the unattended part ....

3) I was searching desesperately any advice on how to let looknstop work in nlite. Nothing I could find.

I realize that not many people use it. But I think this one is interesting because it takes very few ressources and it's perfect when you are interested only in app bloccking ( knowing that you already have a hardware firewall).

So at the end , so much trouble to let that little app work.

Had the same issue with LookN'Stop and gave it up for sygate. Sygate is pretty close with CPU usage if you need a low hit on cycles. If you get Look n' stop to work please detail your finding.

Thanks

If you get Look n' stop to work please detail your finding.

As I said as soon as you don't touch to the services (disabling or removing),

you don't experiment problems.

In the components part you can't remove the "system restore service" or looknstop will refuse to start automatically,

each time you boot.

In attachement the final settings I've adopted.

Looknstop just works fine.
