Which PlugIns would you like?

When will Comodo make it decision to develop plugins or not?

[-NiCeGuY-]

i will choose 1 ,2 , 4 , 5 ,7    , block ads plugin like outpost , i think this function is good 

[Flashstar]

Certainly any plugins would be great, but I find the ip blocking and ad blocking to be the most useful especially if it can be done without slowing down the internet connection. I like Peerguardian, but work hasn't been done on it for a year and a half. Also, a proxy virus scanner would be simply awesome for those of us who have servers.

Id like a plug-in that gets rid of your tracks. A tracks cleaner, like the one Zonealarm has.

So when will Comodo give the green light to develop plugins? or the red light not to?

Stay alive and you will notice it

I will spend my money at my bookmaker, that they tell us in may *just guessing...but I hope I win* 

I think they now work hard on the 3.0 version, but plugins would really be nice to see in the firewall in the future.

Hi guys,
First: As I stated above those plugins will be addons for CFP. If you do not install it it will not slow down your pcs.
Second: I am not a big fun of the idea of blocking adds. But we should think about the members that connect with 56k and GPRS. When I used GPRS those adds made the navigation very difficult.

I started browsing with 19.2 Kbps modems :-)

ad-blocking is merely a function of firewall, same is about referer, etc.
It is easily done with browser.
It is especially so, since that filtering may corrupt web-site - and how will user know ?

So whether CPF would do it, i hope it will be low priority task, perhaps some elementary function for marketing hype and taking hour or two to implement.



What is DNS resolution ?


If make a swiss knife out of CPF, i'd prefer easy spam reporting, look at e-mail, track its path and forward with customised template to abuse [ at ] , postmaster [ at ]  etc contacts for servers, the spam message went through.


One more plugin - is NAT traversal.
There is two protocols, allowing outside port opening: UPnP and ZeroConf draft. Many modern routers, even when chained, can respect those commands.
There are also UDP-based TCP emulating networks like Hamachi and gg-game.com
Afair there was also an "Best practives" RFC recently published.

To modify settings for my VoIP or P2P or online game, slloeing them to automagically obtainsome virtual adapter with outside IP/port could be a unique feature in all the firewalls.


More: traffic counter and categorizer.
I'd like to be able to import rules from some online file (and let Firewall periodically re-check it) with some arbitrary format (external script ? regexps?) so that Firewall would show me totals of several traffic groups (for example one ISP i used had free, cheap and expensive internet zones).
It would be nice if menu over tray icon allowed me to not only block all traffic (see Panic button in wishlist) but also block any of those groups.
And let there be pop-ups, so i could make comodo alert me if, for example,
 1. "expensve" traffic run more than 1Mb/hour
 2. SMTP outgoing traffic runs more than 10Mb/5 minute - look like SPAM trojan inside.
 3. Let me see how many downstream traffic i wast when uploading large files, be it FTP or HTTP or some P2P
 4. Let me enter some URL and now how expensive it would be to me to conect to it. Which group certain server/service falls under. Somehow might be related to the next plugin idea.



Even more: smart traceroute.
I wish i could overlook which is the path to the site, used by Opera currently.
It is not what usual ICMP traceroute does, it is not relevant when traffice is differentiated by port, for example.
So, if posisble, it would be like to hijack any running apps to trace it's certain streams to certain services on certains servers.
If not - then just open list of current network data streams - and send treaceroute over certain local and remote ip/port's. http://pwhois.org/

[Toggie]

I consider these to be the most important of those listed:
 
IP Blocker    
HTTP Logs    
DNS Resolution    
Whois    

Ad and pop-up blocking are well catered for by numerous applications, although I can see why some may prefer an 'all in one solution'.

In addition to the Whois, a Trace Route function would be nice, as would a Netstat feature.    

[Chaos18]

If Plugin will be a feature implemeted in 3.0 hopefully it is 

Are there any Comodo users here able to develop a plugin? and be very deticated to it? with constant updates etc

[Bluesman]

In addition to the Whois, a Trace Route function would be nice, as would a Netstat feature.    

Yes, that would be nice features.

I'm sorry to disagree, but pluggins?

1. Plugin for Controlling the cookies, the referrer, and the advertisments on the pages

Opera

2. Plugin for IP blocking. Something like the opensource peerguardian or a similar fast and lite ipblocker

Maybe, but as of now, no

3. Plugin for changing the visual interface of CFP

For what?

4. Plugin for http logging

I need help to understand what this is

5. Plugin for DNS resolution of the internet adresses.

I thought it was resolved

6. Plugin for Parent controlling (for blocking sex sites, warez, etc.)

Interesting

7. Plugin for finding who is the attacker.

To do what?

8. Plugin for controlling the dialup number. An Antidialer feature

CPF HIPS

9. Plugin for blocking popups

Opera

Optional, ok, fine, each chooses what he wants. But make it a different download altogether, CPFa and CPFb. Leaving the FW open for pluggins makes me uneasy. Can you explain why this shouldn't be a concern?
Or in a separate program altogether. This is not what a FW should be doing IMO. Hey, it could even tweak Windows

Please consider these thoughts. I like the FW, HIPS and Sandbox i get, the latter i even want to use for sure, but all this!?

Don't take me wrong. This is my opinion, and i respect yours.

  so don't you kill it...

[Bluesman]

Opera

Not everybody use Opera

Plugin for changing the visual interface of CFP
For what?

Not everybody have the same taste. I am sure all WinAmp-users don't use the same skin. I like the GUI of the firewall, but I know people that don't like it.

Plugin for finding who is the attacker.
To do what?

It would be nice to do a quick look up about the attacker, so you don't need to use another program just to do a whois on the ip-address. Whois in the firewall would be a nice feature IMHO.

Hi someone,

1&9. I know that Opera can resolve all this. In fact is my no1 browser. But others that use IE cannot control almost any of these.

2. This can be extremely handy.For the time being completely blocking an IP is quite difficult, since you have to create 2 new network rules.

3. Skins for CFP

4. It logs every http request that starts from your pc.

5. No, this will serve as a dns server for the places that you already have visited.

6. I agree. this one will help the parent controlling the navigation of their minor childs and protect them from bad surprises.

7. A whois feature. A lots of members have asked for this

8. I know, but this will control that the other users will not modify these settings.

Because the plugins will be digitally certified by Comodo. If not CFP will not accept any of them.

OK, i think i'm more comfortable, thanks for the clarifications.
Note that i won't be using none of this, and i still think it should be separate. Comodo will have complaints for resource usage i'm afraid. From the same people asking this.

You are welcome. That is why they should be made only as add-ons. I'd hate to see CFP becoming a bloated application.
