this build is useless-after updating and rebooting I exported the config file (645 kb) to my F partition.Before importing that same config I checked in my install directory the size of the config file-it was 678 kb not the 645 kb that Kerio exported.I installed the saved config file anyway,went to check my packet filter rules and Kerio shutdown and restarted.Again Kerio acted like there were no packet filter rules.Shut down Kerio manually replaced config file with my good config and all is ok.

Maybe the next build will work correctly. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Sunbelt-Kerio-Personal-Firewall-43635-17926689 Thu, 01 Mar 2007 21:26:07 EDT Re: Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall 4.3.635 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Sunbelt-Kerio-Personal-Firewall-43635-17915503 said by madirish:

especially noticeable when using Stardock's Windowblinds.
Although I'm not running Sunbelt Kerio now (using 2.1.5)when I did I had no problems with Windowblinds or Rightclick.This version actually fixed a small problem I had with Rightclick (had to do with sdmcp.exe)
I was using the Kerio 4.x version that caused the problem with Windowblinds. I purchased a licence for Kerio because I liked how it worked and the features it offered. But I've been a subscriber to Stardock's Object Desktop since it was an OS/2 only system, so if I have to choose between one or the other, it is going to be the more stable program, Stardock's.

I'm going to give this new version of Sunbelt's software another chance. I hope it doesn't disappoint me again.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Sunbelt-Kerio-Personal-Firewall-43635-17915503 Wed, 28 Feb 2007 07:17:47 EDT Re: Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall 4.3.635 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Sunbelt-Kerio-Personal-Firewall-43635-17913958 said by Mathew Thomas :

Rule #62: Don't take yourself so damn seriously!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Sunbelt-Kerio-Personal-Firewall-43635-17913958 Tue, 27 Feb 2007 22:06:34 EDT Re: Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall 4.3.635 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Sunbelt-Kerio-Personal-Firewall-43635-17913509
decided to import the cfg.file that I made using Mathews temp. fix.After importing the newly made config.file and then wanting to check my packet filter rules Kerio shutdown and then restarted.

Opened Kerio (right click icon>config>Network Security>packet filter rules)and Kerio shutdown and restarted.Happened every time I hit the "packet filter" button.Couldn't get to internet or other pc on my network-nothing.Went to install directory and checked config.file,same size that was imported but nothing worked.Had to uninstall and reinstall Kerio and manually import my config.file and only then did everything work properly.

So I think you should check this out-]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Sunbelt-Kerio-Personal-Firewall-43635-17913509 Tue, 27 Feb 2007 21:03:42 EDT Re: Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall 4.3.635 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Sunbelt-Kerio-Personal-Firewall-43635-17913474 said by SGT6:

Just an encouragement to Mathew (not that he needs it, but... ;))

In short, lots of 2.1.5 users are (almost) desperately looking for replacement now that 64-bit and Vista are "upon us". And, at least from my experience, it's damn difficult to beat simplicity and power of 2.1.5. Tried many, but always came back to good, old Kerio logic and stability.

It'd be fantastic stuff if 4.3 and beyond series can keep these attributes. If yes, then there will be lots to celebrate, both users and Sunbelt. How do you achieve this? Well, do lots of listening here and employ it.

So, keep up good work! Really glad to see a developer participate.

Cheers,
SGT
I have to echo this. I'm one of those users who keep coming back to 2.15. There are a lot of 2.15 users still out there looking for a simple resource friendly firewall to replace it. The newer versions of Kerio that I've seen ain't it. I do, however, much appreciate the support that Sunbelt is now giving their customers and the fact that you've replied here is way above what the old Kerio folks ever did - which was nothing.

And I know that we've had the product for some time now without a release - until now. Taking over a complex product such as this isn't easy, but we're very pleased with what we've accomplished over recent months.

Please, please, please try out the 4.3.635 release! We have fixed a metric ton of crashing issues and stability problems (some really hard bugs) as well as performance improvements. I really believe this is the most stable and reliable version of this product in its history. We are committed to improving the product and we will be announcing our plans for Vista 32/64 support very soon.

I installed over the top of .268 after first stopping SKPF. No problems, all seems to be OK & I can export config. Installed to default location.
If you have a previous version installed and then update to current version everything is ok.

The problems arise when you install current version without having a previous version installed first.

The install problems were there in the previous build also

Sometimes I wonder how Tiny 2.x would have faired if the group that called themselves Kerio didn't take it over, but either way it would have been bought out/taken over by another company it seems.
