"i still don't know how to read who is trying to access. eg: i am getting the message:" the firewall has blocked internet access to your computer (TCP Port 1080) from 67.75.137.62(TCP Port 0)[TCP FlagsLS]"
first of all, if the access to your computer has been blocked, as in the port scan message above, then za has done its job completely, and you are not being asked to do anything yourself.
my advice then, on the above alert, is forget about it. the above alert is a waste of your time. all it should do, if anything, is give you a warm fuzzy feeling that the firewall is doing what it's supposed to do. there are hundreds of these per day, or more.
the alerts you need to watch for are the ones that ask you what you want to do, allow or not allow. (the above example, as i hope i have explained, is not asking you what it should do. it is telling you what it has already done.)
these alerts (allow or don't allow) will tell you what process is asking permission.
make sure the za program control is set to at least medium, then it will ask you for permission. |
