I ask, because I don't know - but it seemed odd.
As regular readers of my posts - and I'm sure I have legions of fans - know, I have recently removed all Norton products from my machines and installed Kerio's firewall.
On one of my PC's, I just added Kerio yesterday - so she's not fully "trained", as it were.
So I was logging into that PC remotely today - using LogMeIn (almost as good as GoToMyPC, but free). And, of course, Kerio wanted to protect the PC from the remote attack.
But it had already ALLOWED the login - so all I had to do remotely was click on the PC's "Permit" button, and it allowed me to continue unfettered.
Now, I had already been through three levels of password protection as part of LogMeIn, so I'm not horribly concerned, but shouldn't Kerio have absolutely denied me all access?
Or am I misunderstanding all of the nitty-gritty of a firewall?
