Theoretical Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Sorry for all the questions but I recently bought Emsisoft Internet Security and i'm not sure if the firewall is working with windows 10, is there a way to check? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT500 Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 That depends on what you want to check. For inbound traffic (connections coming in from the Internet), you'd need to use a port scanner of some sort. If your Internet connection goes through a modem or router that has Network Address Translation (NAT), then you won't be able to do it the easy way, and will need to find a port scanner (such as nmap) than you can run from another computer on your local network.

Theoretical Posted October 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 This seems a lot complicated than I expected, I bought EIS thinking everything would be ok and there wouldn't be any firewall issues. Is their any chance I would be able to get a refund for my product? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoretical Posted October 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 I'm starting to feel i'm not 100% protected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter2150 Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 I think you are fine. Problem normally is when you run simple tests like Gibsons Shields up you are actually testing the router. When I want to test the firewall I do it on my think pad and connect to my Verizon Hot Spot. No router, and EIS tests fine. Your safe.

Theoretical Posted October 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Hi Pete but regarding the refund would this this still be possible? my mother who also uses EIS is not happy with the product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter2150 Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Curious why she isn't happy. Refund will be up to the Emsisoft people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoretical Posted October 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 She explained to me how she doesn't like the lack of features, she also keeps complaining how its different to what she's used to she says its hard to navigate, I was the one who gave her the money to buy it, I have even showed her how to navigate and use the features many times but she still seems unsatisfied so I told her I will request a refund (We both use the same licence).

Peter2150 Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Hmm lack of features... I run several different programs besides Emsisoft, and test it against live malware. It is always first to catch it. That is the best feature in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
