Riker Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Hi, by this thread http://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/heimdal-free-and-pro.377569 I learned a bit about Heimdal and its traffic-based approach to make financial transactions safer. Heimdal uses its own secure DNS and should block a lot of malware hosts. Moreover it updates vulnerable software as Java, Flash, etc. Is anyone using it and can recommend it? In the last few days there were some promotions for it and yesterday/today there is even a giveaway: http://landingpages.heimdalsecurity.com/en/sharewareonsale/giveaway.html Riker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¥akuza112 Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 i've never used this software, but i can recommend you Secunia PSI. It autoupdates outdated software --> http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/personal and its free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riker Posted August 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Hi, yes I know Secunia, in the past I tested it once and I was not convinced. It just didn´t work. In my eyes the main point of Heimdal is the secure DNS which should make financial transactions safer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¥akuza112 Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 I would use DNSCRYPT, if you want secure dns https://www.opendns.com/about/innovations/dnscrypt Http://www.howtogeek.com/203139/how-to-encrypt-your-dns-for-more-secure-browsing/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter2150 Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Hi Riker To answer your question, I've tried it, and like the concept. There is no conflict with anything else I am running. I ended up buying a family pack license. It isn't a replacement for Secunia, and it does more then DNScrypt. Give it a whirl. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riker Posted September 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Thanks Peter and all the others for the feedback. I took the opportunity and got a free license for it and I think I will give it a try! According to the privacy-policy I read that no personal data are stored on their servers, so everything seems fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
